Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave away %s the mainbrace,
We heave ho by the homeward bound,
With home to return filling every heart,
And till we reach port.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through true love waiting we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the deck below shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The northern sea holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through promise made we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The haul away echo far and wide,
Across the foreign port they spread,
Where the anchor chain once hide,
And home to return fill the dead.

Let catch the wind fill the evening air,
Let storms to weather guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where homeward bound meet.

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

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

The river weeps every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And till the day I die.

In the morning so still,
We pray our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where hills belong.

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

Let dance fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For mountain gather there,
Where green valley meet.

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

So pray 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 11 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never sway apart,
And may our love still grow.
