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
Lie across the deep

I’ll see my home and rest my mind
 From the driftin’ thoughts that carried me
             Upon the waves 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
