Been listening to tons of Stan Rogers's last album, released the year after his untimely death in 1983. And in my opinion, his best album. "The Lock-Keeper" is just an amazing song.
"'Come with me,' you say, 'to where the Southern Cross rides high upon your shoulder!
'Come with me,' you cry, 'each day you tend this lock, you're one day older!
While your blood runs colder.'
But that anchor chain's a fetter, and with it you are tethered to the foam
And I wouldn't trade your life for one hour of home.'"
