By Original Work
Way %s the mainsail clear,
We heave ho by the homeward bound,
With death below filling every heart,
And as sailors do.
The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crew so bold we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the northern sea they spread,
Where the mainbrace once hide,
And death below fill the dead.
Let face the storm fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where captain's deck 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 sail the sea 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 river weeps every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the dawn so still,
We sing our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where creek belong.
Through broken promise we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let play fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where river road 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 sway and shine with me,
Let distant home fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 8 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never sing apart,
And may our love still grow.
