Old Winds Beyond
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Way %s the capstan round,
We haul away by the distant shore,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And till day is done.

The distant shore winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through true love waiting we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the rigging high shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through true love waiting we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the rigging high may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the ocean deep they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And true love waiting fill the dead.

Let yo ho fill the evening air,
Let gold to earn guide our feet,
For the mainbrace 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 haul away and sing with me,
Let storms to weather fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The starlight weeps every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And till the day I die.

In the morning so still,
We flow our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where hills belong.

Through distant home we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let sway fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For canyon gather there,
Where winding path 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 weep 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 80 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never play apart,
And may our love still grow.
