By Original Work
Haul %s the anchor chain,
We sail the sea by the homeward bound,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And when land is seen.
The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As sail the sea we roam,
Through promise made we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through death below we find our way,
By northern sea we stand,
Though the rigging high may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The face the storm echo far and wide,
Across the northern sea they spread,
Where the deck below once hide,
And land ahead fill the dead.
Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let storms to weather guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where tropical isle meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying gold to earn away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So yo ho and sing with me,
Let true love waiting fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The creek sways every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where lost love leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the dawn so still,
We play our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where creek belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though ocean may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true devotion away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So call and grow with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 92 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never sway apart,
And may our love still grow.
