Saltwind Howl

(Verse 1) Down where the tide meets silver sand, Lived a wolf with a steady hand, Fur like storm clouds, eyes like dawn, Singing to waves from dusk till morn. (Pre-Chorus) Oh the gulls cried out and the sails flew free, But no voice rang louder than the wolf by the sea— (Chorus) Heave-ho, let the salt winds roll! A fire in his heart and the tide in his soul, Through the storm and spray, he’ll never fall, Hear the ocean rise when the wild wolf calls! (Verse 2) He built his home from driftwood bones, Carved out dreams in the great unknown, Every scar was a tale he’d keep, From raging storms to the quiet deep. (Pre-Chorus) When the black clouds came and the waves ran high, He just laughed and sang to the roaring sky— (Chorus) Heave-ho, let the salt winds roll! A fire in his heart and the tide in his soul, Through the storm and spray, he’ll never fall, Hear the ocean rise when the wild wolf calls! (Bridge – slower, rising) Ohhhh—he was lost once, far from shore, But the sea gave back a life once more, Now every wave is a friend he knows, In every gale, his courage grows. (Break – chant style) Hey! Hey! The tide don’t own me! Hey! Hey! The wind has shown me! Claws to the sky and feet to the foam— The sea’s my heart and the world’s my home! (Final Chorus – big and triumphant) Heave-ho, let the salt winds roll! A fire in his heart and the tide in his soul, Through the storm and spray, he’ll never fall, Hear the ocean rise when the wild wolf calls! Heave-ho! Let the whole world see! There’s a life to be lived in the wild and free, From the crashing waves to the endless blue— The sea sings back… and he sings too. (Outro) So if you’re lost where the dark winds be, Just follow the howl by the shining sea…
