about

I can't say that this song was inspired by just one person. Maybe several. But it complements a few other songs that I've published about sailing, boats and such.

lyrics

Anchor
Copyright January 9, 2020 Robert Lindsay Natrhan

Intro: C Dm C Dm C Dm Am G

Verse 1

C Dm
Your love it fits me like a glove
C Dm
So as soon as the moon above
C Dm
Slips low down in the evening sky
Am G
I’ll be hanging out and lingering by

Hoping for your sweet caress
Oh sweet darlin I must confess
That my heart just up and took flight
When you entered into my life

Chorus:

C G
You’re my anchor, and you’re my rock,
C F
You're my friend, love, and confidant
C Dm
You keep me grounded on land or at sea
Am G
A symbiosis of you and me.
C G
You’re my anchor and you’re my hope
C F
Your the bouy that keeps our dreams afloat
C Dm
Your the wind that fills my sails
Am G
My ship’s keel you’ll never let me fail




Break

Verse 2

So my vision is finally clear
Now that you’re so very near
As this course finally comes into view
There’s a clarity anew

And the warmth that rises up from your heart
It keeps me cloaked when we are apart
So when I sail back to you from the cold
Our ship’s treasure’s filled with love of gold

Repeat Chorus

Outro:

C F
You’re my anchor, you’re my rock
C F
You’re my anchor, you’re my hope
Dm G
You’re the ocean keeps this ship afloat.

C Dm C Dm C Dm Am G7 Cmaj7
