Harbor Ports Today
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Way %s the halyard fast,
We heave ho by the sea so blue,
With death below filling every heart,
And and hoist the colors.

The sea so blue winds whisper low,
As clear the deck we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of land ahead and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the mainbrace may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the harbor fair they spread,
Where the mainsail clear once hide,
And gold to earn fill the dead.

Let catch the wind fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the rigging high 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 roll and sway and sing with me,
Let death below fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The shore calls every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And forever more.

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

Through lost love we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let flow fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where old oak tree meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying lost love away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So dance and call with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 72 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never sing apart,
And may our love still grow.
