Track Insight / Lyrics
Meet me 'neath the ferry dock at dawn
Where the mist and darkness start to charm
Like an iron anchor I'll be there to stay
Guarding the empty pier as the day breaks grey
I'll hear the waves caress the weathered wood
As I keep watch with my steadfast mood
The stars fade out like embers in the haze
As I silently decree the port's lazy days
No trawlers idle by, no passengers to meet
But I remain faithful, a patient beat
Through the chill night hours, through the dew and rain
My steadfast vigil keeps the dock secure and plain
I am the anchor, the silent sentry
Where the journey's end, or new beginnings be
Biding time until the dawn's first gleam
My metal strength keeps your dreams safe in my seams
The sun will rise, the city will awaken at last
I'll still be anchored, as the world casts out its past
The ferry lines will bustle, as it ferries its loads
But my quiet resolve will not be swayed or cowed
No trawlers idle by, no passengers to meet
But I remain faithful, a patient beat
Through the sweltering heat, through the sleet and snow
My steadfast duty keeps your treasure safe and aglow
I am the anchor, the silent sentry
Where the journey's end, or new beginnings be
Biding time until the dawn's first gleam
My metal strength keeps your dreams safe in my seams
Though the tides may rise, and the storms may rage
I dig my roots deep, and turn my face to the age
In the empty stillness, I silently endure
A steadfast promise, for you and the waves to explore
I am the anchor, the silent sentry
Where the journey's end, or new beginnings be
Biding time until the dawn's first gleam
My metal strength keeps your dreams safe in my seams
Meet me 'neath the ferry dock at dawn
Where the mist and darkness start to charm
Like an iron anchor I'll be there to stay
Guarding the empty pier as the day breaks grey
