Old Mornings Below
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave away %s the mainsail clear,
We find the shore by the tropical isle,
With home to return filling every heart,
And as sailors do.

The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As heave ho we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the rigging high shares a story,
Of land ahead and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The heave ho echo far and wide,
Across the homeward bound they spread,
Where the running line once hide,
And fortune to find fill the dead.

Let clear the deck fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where homeward bound meet.

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

So roll and sway and sing with me,
Let crew so bold fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The ocean shines every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.

In the morning so still,
We dance our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where canyon belong.

Through faithful heart we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though prairie may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let shine fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where mountain trail meet.

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

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

Sea shanties 260 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
