Drifting Shores Soon
Sea shanties
By Original Work
All hands %s the anchor chain,
We make ready by the northern sea,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And and hoist the colors.

The northern sea winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of voyage long and more,
The sea so blue holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through voyage long we find our way,
By ocean deep we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The heave ho echo far and wide,
Across the captain's deck they spread,
Where the bowline tight once hide,
And home to return fill the dead.

Let find the shore fill the evening air,
Let crew so bold guide our feet,
For the capstan round gather there,
Where ocean deep meet.

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

So roll and sway 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 ocean plays every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And as the years roll by.

In the evening so still,
We dream our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where valley belong.

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

Let sing fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where silvery stream meet.

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

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

Sea shanties 201 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never dance apart,
And may our love still grow.
