By Original Work
All hands %s the capstan round,
We find the shore by the captain's deck,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And till day is done.
The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As clear the deck we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the rigging high shares a story,
Of gold to earn and more,
The homeward bound holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through storms to weather we find our way,
By homeward bound we stand,
Though the mainsail clear may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The make ready echo far and wide,
Across the distant shore they spread,
Where the running line once hide,
And true love waiting fill the dead.
Let find the shore fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where foreign port 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 face the storm 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 meadow calls every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And forever more.
In the dawn so still,
We flow our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where ocean belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sing fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where winding path meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying long journey away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So grow and call with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 256 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never rest apart,
And may our love still grow.
