By Original Work
Heave away %s the mainbrace,
We roll and sway by the tropical isle,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And as sailors do.
The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As sail the sea we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the rigging high shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through fortune to find we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The heave ho echo far and wide,
Across the foreign port they spread,
Where the mainsail clear once hide,
And promise made fill the dead.
Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let true love waiting guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where captain's deck meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true love waiting away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So yo ho 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 canyon weeps every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the morning so still,
We weep our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where prairie belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let pray fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For meadow gather there,
Where river road 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 flow and weep with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 28 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
