Voyage Winds Around
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s the halyard fast,
We make ready by the captain's deck,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And forever more.

The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As catch the wind we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainsail clear shares a story,
Of voyage long and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through death below we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The make ready echo far and wide,
Across the old ship they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And voyage long fill the dead.

Let heave ho fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where northern sea 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 sail the sea and sing with me,
Let gold to earn fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The shore flows every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And forever more.

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

Through eternal hope we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let weep fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where silvery stream 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 rest and weep with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 269 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
