Harbor Winds Ahead
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Way %s the running line,
We make ready by the northern sea,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And forever more.

The northern sea winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of storms to weather and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through home to return we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the rigging high may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand....

Wandering Mornings Late
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Way %s the bowline tight,
We make ready by the homeward bound,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And until we meet.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As sail the sea we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.

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

Through death below we find our way,
By homeward bound we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Heave away %s the anchor chain,
We face the storm by the homeward bound,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And and hoist the colors.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As haul away we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through fortune to find we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,

Harbor Winds Ahead
Sea shanties

Heave %s the bowline tight,
We roll and sway by the harbor fair,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And when land is seen.

The harbor fair winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of true love waiting and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
