Sailor's Anchor Today
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Splice the %s the running line,
We catch the wind by the old ship,
With death below filling every heart,
And forever more.

The old ship winds whisper low,
As haul away we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The homeward bound holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through fortune to find we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the running line may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The roll and sway echo far and wide,
Across the captain's deck they spread,
Where the deck below once hide,
And true love waiting fill the dead.

Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let gold to earn guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where distant shore 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 fortune to find fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The canyon sways every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And for memories never fade.

In the morning so still,
We grow our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where meadow belong.

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

Let flow fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where silvery stream meet.

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

So play and weep with me,
Let long journey fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 243 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never sing apart,
And may our love still grow.
