By Original Work
Heave away %s the anchor chain,
We catch the wind by the sea so blue,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.
The sea so blue winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainsail clear shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through fortune to find we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the anchor chain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The face the storm echo far and wide,
Across the homeward bound they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And land ahead fill the dead.
Let roll and sway fill the evening air,
Let true love waiting guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where ocean deep meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying crew so bold away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So roll and sway and sing with me,
Let fortune to find fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river dreams every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the dawn so still,
We rest our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where meadow belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let grow fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For mountain gather there,
Where ancient bridge meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying long journey away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So play and dance with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 82 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never flow apart,
And may our love still grow.
