Soul of the Sailor Shanty

Travelin’ on this sea so many years

I long to go back home

Where mother earth will comfort me

And I won’t have to roam

I’ll see my home and rest my mind

From the driftin’ thoughts that carried me

Upon the waves of time

So blow ye winds and fill the sails

Of hope that carries me

To distant shores I’ve heard some tell

Lie across the deep

I’ll see my home and rest my mind

From the driftin’ thoughts that carried me

Upon the waves of time

Far from the shore where I was born

The sea has carried me

Yet still it washes o’er the sands

That hold my lock and key

I’ll see my home and rest my mind

From the driftin’ thoughts that carried me

Upon the waves of time

On shore I see a lamplight

Was it placed for me

To guide me o’er the rocks and shoals

Dividing shore from sea

I’ll see my home and rest my mind

From the driftin’ thoughts that carried me

Upon the waves of time
