STRAY BULLETS LYRICS

"The Anchor"

The anchor that I used to fear’d
Forever keep me mired here
Just gasping as I floundered in the deep,
A thousand times has kept this ship
From being dashed to pieces on the reef...

The beacon that I used to hate
Illuminating my mistakes
Has shown me it’s just there to light the way,
A path I’ve learned to follow
As the darkest nights come swallow up the days...

On and on I failed until a dry land could be found,
And on that fateful day I kissed the soil and stood on solid ground,
Though I will always be a sailor and I’ll always love the sea,
My heart belongs now to this siren who saw fit to save a salty wretch like me...

The compass needle I once swore
My only means to make the shore,
Now frozen, rusted over, cast aside,
I burned both maps and legends,
Let the stars up in the heavens be my guide...

Those oceans I once fought to cross,
This battered vessel tempest-tossed,
Not really insurmountable at all,
Just keep the keel side down
And turn the rudder so the bow faces the squall...

On and on I failed until a dry land could be found,
And on that fateful day I kissed the soil and stood on solid ground,
Though I will always be a sailor and I’ll always love the sea,
My heart belongs now to this siren who saw fit to save a salty wretch like me...

Oh, well I can’t lie,
There’s a part of me still misses it sometimes,
So farewell, my seabound friends,
Godspeed here’s hoping all your ships are coming in.
Godspeed here’s hoping all your ships are coming in.
Godspeed here’s hoping all your ships are coming in.
