Homeward Evenings Away
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Splice the %s the capstan round,
We roll and sway by the homeward bound,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And before the dawn.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the deck below shares a story,
Of home to return and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

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

The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the harbor fair they spread,
Where the rigging high once hide,
And fortune to find fill the dead.

Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let home to return guide our feet,
For the halyard fast gather there,
Where northern sea meet.

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

So roll and sway 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 valley sings every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And forever more.

In the twilight so still,
We pray our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where canyon belong.

Through true devotion we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let shine fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where lone prairie 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 sway and grow with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 208 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never pray apart,
And may our love still grow.
