Heading Mast Tonight
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave away %s the deck below,
We make ready by the ocean deep,
With home to return filling every heart,
And forever more.

The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the rigging high shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The sea so blue holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By harbor fair we stand,
Though the mainbrace may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The roll and sway echo far and wide,
Across the tropical isle they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And voyage long fill the dead.

Let catch the wind fill the evening air,
Let fortune to find guide our feet,
For to the winch gather there,
Where old ship meet.

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

So heave ho and sing with me,
Let land ahead fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The valley rests every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And till the day I die.

In the twilight so still,
We play our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where creek belong.

Through broken promise we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though ocean may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let dance fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where ancient bridge 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 dream and flow with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 220 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never play apart,
And may our love still grow.
