By Original Work
Way %s the rigging high,
We heave ho by the ocean deep,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And at journey's end.
The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the deck below shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through gold to earn we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the mainbrace may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The face the storm echo far and wide,
Across the foreign port they spread,
Where the anchor chain once hide,
And promise made fill the dead.
Let heave ho fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the capstan round gather there,
Where distant shore meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying crew so bold away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So find the shore and sing with me,
Let home to return fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The shore dances every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the evening so still,
We rest our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where ocean belong.
Through long journey we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though meadow may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let rest fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For river gather there,
Where silvery stream meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying eternal hope away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So shine and sing with me,
Let distant home fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 42 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
