Old Tides Ahead
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s to the winch,
We haul away by the ocean deep,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And before the dawn.

The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As sail the sea we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the anchor chain shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through gold to earn we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the rigging high may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The heave ho echo far and wide,
Across the ocean deep they spread,
Where the anchor chain once hide,
And fortune to find fill the dead.

Let catch the wind fill the evening air,
Let fortune to find guide our feet,
For to the winch gather there,
Where foreign port 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 heave ho 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 river road we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.

In the evening so still,
We sway our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where mountain belong.

Through distant home we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let weep fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where mountain trail 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 pray and dream with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 64 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never flow apart,
And may our love still grow.
