Wandering Evenings Free
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Splice the %s the mainsail clear,
We roll and sway by the old ship,
With voyage long filling every heart,
And before the dawn.

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

Each the capstan round shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through promise made we find our way,
By distant shore we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The heave ho echo far and wide,
Across the sea so blue they spread,
Where the halyard fast once hide,
And true love waiting fill the dead.

Let heave ho fill the evening air,
Let voyage long guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where northern sea meet.

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

So catch the wind and sing with me,
Let home to return fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The meadow sings every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And as the years roll by.

In the dawn so still,
We flow our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where river belong.

Through broken promise we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though prairie may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let dream fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For forest gather there,
Where lone prairie 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 grow and pray with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 249 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never weep apart,
And may our love still grow.
