Marian Call - Anchorage lyrics

Today my childish laughter falls away The stakes were real and we won't feel okay With a knot of bitter worry in my eyes And a tearless year or two since the last day The last damn day, the last day that I cried No no no no / take me back home No no no no / take me away Bring her 'round slow / no no no no Tie her up right / I'll sail round the night I'll dock when it's day No no no no / I got no home No no no no / only a way Bring her 'round slow / no no no no I know where I'll land I'll unclench my hands I'm willing to stay So see me down, see me down to the edge of the wild Stroll me out to the end of the pier Reel me in to the places we knew our own faces Over wine, over coffee and beer And anchor me anchor me anchor me anchor me here Walk with me, the sunset's three hours long tonight We'll blind our disbelieving eyes with light And if the dusk admits our fear of d**h We'll write a worthy hymn and cork it fast Cork it fast, we'll float it west No no no no / got a ring full of keys No no no no / not a one of 'em mine Bring her 'round slow / no no no no Fold up the maps If love goes by haps Why look for a sign? No no no no / I got no home No no no no / only a way Bring her 'round slow / no no no no The water's not clear But I've washed ashore here And I'm willing to stay So see me down, see me down to the edge of the wild Stroll me out to the end of the bow Point me back to the places we knew our own faces Without wondering much why or how And anchor me anchor me anchor me anchor me now My body and my mind have scarcely met I've spent my whole life being elsewhere and elsewhen So ground me in the only house I own Forgive my absence, love And teach me to live Teach me to live, to live alone, no no no no See me down, see me down to the edge of the wild... And anchor me anchor me anchor me anchor me here
