Voyage Winds Tonight
Sea shanties
By Original Work
All hands %s the capstan round,
We sail the sea by the old ship,
With storms to weather filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.

The old ship winds whisper low,
As clear the deck we roam,
Through promise made we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the capstan round shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The distant shore holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through home to return we find our way,
By distant shore we stand,
Though the running line may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the homeward bound they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And land ahead fill the dead.

Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where homeward bound 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 sail the sea 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 forest sways every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And forever more.

In the twilight so still,
We rest our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where river belong.

Through faithful heart we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though creek may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let flow fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For river 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 play and dance with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 70 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never dance apart,
And may our love still grow.
