She steers a steady course

Through the stormy straits of my life

And for these reasons

Someday i'll make her my wife

But between soulmate and sea

I'm caught in a strife

And now my whole world

Is like a double edged knife





While she's waving farewell

I wish I was holding that hand

And back on that beach

Leaving our footprints in the sand

But the ocean's calling my name

And I obey her every command

While my lonely lover is at shore

And and sail on unmanned





And its scary that I don't know

When these chains will break free

Forever a prisoner of the sea

And its sad that I don't know

What to say when she asks me

“When will your anchor touch the sea”?





And as I'm half out the door

She begs if she can come travel along

But just beyond the waves

I can hear the sirens singing their song

I know on dry land

Is where I belong

But I signed my soul

To this journey lifelong





I yearn for the day

Where's there's no more “goodbyes”

With kisses goodnight

And sand under my skies

But as I awake from those dreams

Tears start to spill down my eyes

Because until I serve my time

This anchor will stay dry



And its scary that I don't know

When these chains will break free

Forever a prisoner of the sea

And its sad that I don't know

What to say when she asks me

“When will your anchor touch the sea”?





And I'm stranded in the undertow

Down below my grave will be

Between the Devil and the deep blue sea

But there's one thing that I do know

Is that one day i'll get down on one knee

And ask my lover to marry me

The day I throw my anchor into the sea
