Anchors Aweigh

from Heroic Blues (2002) by The Dave Graney Show

/

about

Also appears in remixed-resung-remasterd form on SUPERMODIFIED.
This is the original version .

A song about a friend leaving this world for good and its effect on you. Ropes letting go, a boat leaving it's mooring a little at a time.

lyrics

in the beginning
it was so hard to breathe
so hard to see
so hard to find some space
like the air was earth
packed tight
so many people
all around and above and below
anchors aweigh
then there was a time of great confusion in the world
I drifted, free from the earths drag
there were no borders
there was no night or day
there was no end in sight
there was only the vast and weightless pull
of the time around and ahead
anchors aweigh

there was that song of yours
somethin' about your eyes watchin' someone
well now it's so hard to hear
now those eyes are closed
the streets of london
the streets of perth
dog eared pages in a library book
collected on the fly
shovin' off from the shoreline
anchors aweigh
all the people there were strangers to me again
anchors aweigh
anchors aweigh
