And what you did next was second-to-none
> You really let us down
> You tied yourself up
> And jumped in the sea
> Never to come home
It is unclear of this person committed suicide or simply suffered an accident, but the "never to come home" suggests this person passed away.
> Valium
> You left me all alone
> Tell me when
> I will be whole again
Valium is a well-known anti-depressive. May it be that Valium helped the living overcome their loss? Then, it could also be thought that they feel that by overcoming their loss, they are giving up on their friend. "valium, you left me alone". Valium, with your help I got through the death of my friend, and so i think, because i'm feeling like a betrayer and that doesn't sound like being healed at all.
The second paragraph "there was a whisper..." may indicate that the voice with the POV is self blaming itself. There was signs, and we failed to catch them.
Just before finishing, the song goes to valium and morphine, and introduces heroin as the key of whatever that had happened. "Where did you take my friend?"
The reference in the title to Civil War campaign is hard to assess. It may refer just to the struggle itself, but Sherman's March to the Sea was a success, and it may indicate that perhaps the POV sees a self-destructive conduct in this lost friend, a self-destructive conduct that had eventually succeded.
As I said, a precious but horribly sad song.">

Overall I see it as a really precious and sad song, a song in which he sings to a lost friend (probably, a dead friend).
There was an anchor
There was a silver-sweet refrain
It starts with a lament: "you fool, there was hope, there was a solution". The anchor and the silver-sweet refrain stand for what could have helped this person: help from others, an illusion of being better in the future.
The next relevant verses:
And what you did next was second-to-none
You really let us down
You tied yourself up
And jumped in the sea

Valium
You left me all alone
Tell me when
I will be whole again
