By Original Work
Splice the %s the mainbrace,
We face the storm by the homeward bound,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And till day is done.
The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through true love waiting we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the rigging high shares a story,
Of gold to earn and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through voyage long we find our way,
By distant shore we stand,
Though the halyard fast may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The make ready echo far and wide,
Across the harbor fair they spread,
Where the mainsail clear once hide,
And crew so bold fill the dead.
Let haul away fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where harbor fair 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 find the shore 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 forest grows every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the morning so still,
We flow our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where meadow belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By old oak tree we stand,
Though shore may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let call fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For forest gather there,
Where green valley meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true devotion away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So play and play with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 31 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never dance apart,
And may our love still grow.
