I love the lyrics.

Glad you like them. The Navy song Anchors Aweigh is referenced in this song. Drink to the foam is part I wanted to emphasize.

I redid it and changed the lyrics some to make it flow better.

Drop the sheets, secure the rigging
Belay the lines, anchors aweigh
Let the sails unfurl and carry us away
To horizons 'fore us come what may

Forgotten by time but not by tide
Its an honor to have lived a sailors life
When you drink to the foam you drink to me
For i am every sailor lost to sea.

To be forgotten by time, but not by tide,
'Neath the waves my shipmates lie
They have sliped below and there they sleep
Honored to make their graves 'neath the deep

There are no tomb stones on the sea.
White caps and foam mark their memory.
When you drink to the foam, you drink to me
For I am every sailor lost to the sea.

Drop the sheets, secure the rigging
Belay the lines, anchors aweigh
Let the sails unfurl and carry us away
To the horizons 'fore us come what may

Think that is a good song to the foam.  Raise your glass, lads!  Ta doc ardu!  Now about those singing lessons >:D!  Actually you sing better than I do, I'm a seannachie, and narrator, and a bit of a writer when the mood hits!  I think Jacie can do a suitable melody for that.

If i could afford time and money, id love singing lessons. I certainly need tgem as much as i enjoy singing. I am very excited to hear what jacie comes up with! And she is welcome to take whatever liberties with it she needs to make a finished product she is happy with.

Wow, just listened to celtic stomp. Just wow. Are there words? If not, may i try?
