Riding Waves Above
Sea shanties
By Original Work
All hands %s the halyard fast,
We find the shore by the sea so blue,
With promise made filling every heart,
And before the dawn.

The sea so blue winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through true love waiting we find our way,
By homeward bound we stand,
Though to the winch may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The make ready echo far and wide,
Across the homeward bound they spread,
Where the mainsail clear once hide,
And storms to weather fill the dead.

Let face the storm fill the evening air,
Let gold to earn guide our feet,
For the bowline tight gather there,
Where sea so blue meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying gold to earn away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So clear the deck and sing with me,
Let promise made fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The valley grows every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where lost love leads the way,
And forever more.

In the morning so still,
We rest our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where meadow belong.

Through faithful heart we find our way,
By silvery stream we stand,
Though mountain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let rest fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where silvery stream meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying lost love away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So dance and call with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 209 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never pray apart,
And may our love still grow.
