island
craving dust
no more water
says enough is enough —
send-off

A rock, an anchor, a touchstone
Our visits, email, time on phone.
Has been such an aid in my struggles
And I really enjoyed all the snuggles.
But stones are a burden, you see,
And they no longer are a help to me.
Thanks for telling me your needs
It makes it clear we can’t proceed.
So this is all I have to say:
Sorry, babe, it's anchors aweigh!
See, I’ve arrived, so thanks a ton
It turns out that this special son
Is destined for so much more
Than you, so here’s the door.
My daddy said so, and he must know
When it’s time to give the heave-ho.
All good things must come to an end
Say, you think we can still be friends?

The sea is rough, the sea is tense
Like a forest dark, like a forest dense
Keep all eyes forward, keep all eyes alert
Deny the soul anger, deny the soul hurt
Adjust to the road, adjust to the times
Avoid all temptations, avoid all crimes
Do not change the path, do not change the goals
The heart is a rolling plain, the heart is a grassy knoll
Do not fear day, do not fear night
Life is a journey, life is a fight
Command the ranks, command the fleet
Seal the hatches, seal the heat
It will not be easy, it will not be long
Remain completely confident, remain completely strong
Look afar in the sunset, look afar in the bay
Sing The Star Spangled Banner, sing Anchors Aweigh
