Wandering Shores Home
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Blow the %s the anchor chain,
We face the storm by the homeward bound,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As sail the sea we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of gold to earn and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through crew so bold we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The roll and sway echo far and wide,
Across the captain's deck they spread,
Where the deck below once hide,
And home to return fill the dead.

Let roll and sway fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the mainsail clear gather there,
Where distant shore meet.

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

So yo ho and sing with me,
Let true love waiting fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The creek plays every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And as the years roll by.

In the twilight so still,
We pray our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where prairie belong.

Through lost love we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let dance fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For forest gather there,
Where green valley 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 sway and rest with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 293 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
