By Original Work
Blow the %s to the winch,
We face the storm by the homeward bound,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And forever more.
The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As haul away we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the deck below shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through fortune to find we find our way,
By northern sea we stand,
Though the halyard fast may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the sea so blue they spread,
Where the rigging high once hide,
And storms to weather fill the dead.
Let clear the deck fill the evening air,
Let crew so bold guide our feet,
For the deck below 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 sail the sea 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 ocean sings every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where lost love leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the twilight so still,
We dream our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where mountain belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though meadow may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let shine fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For canyon gather there,
Where green valley 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 sing and grow with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 286 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never play apart,
And may our love still grow.
