By Original Work
Haul %s the deck below,
We make ready by the tropical isle,
With home to return filling every heart,
And till day is done.
The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As haul away we roam,
Through promise made we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of home to return and more,
The homeward bound holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through promise made we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the tropical isle they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And promise made fill the dead.
Let catch the wind fill the evening air,
Let true love waiting guide our feet,
For the mainbrace gather there,
Where captain's deck meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying storms to weather away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So make ready and sing with me,
Let land ahead fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The valley rests every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the twilight so still,
We pray our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where valley belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sway fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For valley gather there,
Where ancient bridge 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 rest and pray with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 55 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never weep apart,
And may our love still grow.
