about

Harry, still shaken from Sam’s death, decides to tell Sam’s family that Sam decided to stay behind in Gibraltar after finding someone to marry. The song is framed as a letter to Harry's wife Anna.

lyrics

Anna my dear so far and so near
We’re four days from harbor
But Sam fell from starboard
And I think I’ve seen this before

I can’t tell his brothers or sister or mother
I’ll say he’s in Gibraltar
Got tied at the altar
We won’t see him no more

Anna my dear on a far distant pier
Won’t you fix up your chinaware
I’ll meet you anywhere
But hold me when I fall to the floor

And don’t hate me if, my eyes don’t make it past the door.
