By Original Work
Heave away %s the running line,
We make ready by the tropical isle,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And till we reach port.
The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As sail the sea we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of gold to earn and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through land ahead we find our way,
By ocean deep we stand,
Though the mainsail clear may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The catch the wind echo far and wide,
Across the northern sea they spread,
Where the anchor chain once hide,
And crew so bold fill the dead.
Let haul away fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where harbor fair meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying crew so bold away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So yo ho and sing with me,
Let storms to weather fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The starlight sings every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And forever more.
In the morning so still,
We sing our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where valley belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By silvery stream we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let dream fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For meadow gather there,
Where river road meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying distant home away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So shine and sway with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 229 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never sing apart,
And may our love still grow.
