lyrics

Well the heart
It’s an anchor
And it’s dropped
Where it lies
The gale
Can’t disturb it
Nor tides
Low or high

Saw a man playing saxaphone
At the grave of his wife
As he played Stevie Wonder
Ain’t no wondering why
No

Because the heart
is an anchor
Dropped
where it lay
Gale
Can’t disturb it
Tides
Low or high

A woman kept roses
A century old
Named for a pilot
Disappeared in the cold
She no longer lived there
But she tended them still
Neighborhood lunatic
But we do what we will

Well the heart
it’s an anchor
And it’s dropped
Where it lies
The gale
Can’t disturb it
Nor tides
Low or high

Heart
is an anchor
Heart
is an anchor
Gale
Can’t disturb it
Heart
is an anchor
