ANCHOR IN THE NIGHT

ANCHOR IN THE NIGHT
 
Halyards slapping masts
inky water lapping  
Night birds screech
Hunker down for warmth
 
Dream the golden isle
Where life is warm and sweet
A jerking on our anchor rode
Alert danger mode
 
Ship passing in the night
Pull covers around ears
Sleep as the marina slumbers
Safe leave gate in dreams
 
Fog horn a distant moan
A diesel chugs alone
Radar distant warning
All`s well we have atoned
 
----  Eagle Cruagh
