Anchors Aweigh (original tune by The Random Hubiak)

Well, the steam is a-rising as the snow settles down on the cobblestone streets and the boats of this harbor town. Whores congregate and huddle under yellow pools of light, fishnet cast across alleys for the catch of the night. The bars are all closing; sailors ebb towards the bay. Anchors aweigh, boys, anchors aweigh.

Drunken lotharios reel a pantomime waltz. Gate keepers of fool's paradise promise gold from their vaults. A bright star that beckons from the breathtaking blue, steady as centuries, a hand that is true on the small of your back now, but come light of day, it's anchors aweigh, boys, anchors aweigh.

Your chest slowly heaving as you lie there in your bed. I watch from my pillow, my hand under your head. You don't know I'm leaving. I always knew. This ship is departing and so is her crew. The sirens are calling me, the mermaids are at play. So anchors aweigh, my love, anchors aweigh. Anchors aweigh, my love, anchors aweigh.

From a navy wife to you Rand ( also a former Franklin Student), THANK YOU!!!! I had my husband listen to this and for the first time, I saw him crying. He said that is a better song than the original...

I was just browsing and listening to the original Navy theme when I encountered your song. Awesome voice and message. Appropriate since I'm leaving tomorrow to deploy. Keep singing and don't rule yourself out for Idol '10
