Old Tides Away
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Splice the %s the halyard fast,
We catch the wind by the tropical isle,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And when land is seen.

The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As clear the deck we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through gold to earn we find our way,
By northern sea we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The clear the deck echo far and wide,
Across the distant shore they spread,
Where the deck below once hide,
And crew so bold fill the dead.

Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let true love waiting guide our feet,
For the mainbrace gather there,
Where distant shore 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 sail the sea 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 forest sways every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And forever more.

In the evening so still,
We grow our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where canyon belong.

Through true devotion we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though ocean may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let rest fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For river gather there,
Where winding path meet.

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

So grow and pray with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 246 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
