Anchor

The waves are holding onto my bow
They ain't a-breakin' and the wind ain't thinkin' of helping me now
The tide is sinking' and none of this drinkin' is gonna get me out
Got me sailing around with my anchor down

The boards are cracked from the daily sun
Except the space where I used to place
My old soft cover of "Cat's Cradle" and a small square jar
She took 'em both and left me to hold my sails apart

The sea's a-stormin' and I see your words
So rightly written - a hand so smitten
For dealing out just what the compass says that I deserve
My oars are dippin' and I'm startin' to think it's what I have earned

My friends are callin' and I see the shore
The clouds are spittin', it feels like it's gettin' mighty cold
They're growin' faster but this lazy bastard ain't hopin' on board
Just leave me alone, and let me sail out on my own

Come to port in a midnight storm
I missed the dock but I nailed a rock, well the water's warm
It's rushin' in and I think this boat - it just bit the farm
Parked her in a place far away from harm
