Track Insight / Lyrics
I left the salt and the blue
Searching for a kind of true
Dragging iron on the floor
Right inside the open door
Heavy chain and rusted skin
Waiting for the spin to begin
I am an anchor out of place
Looking for a familiar face
Washing off the brine and the grey
Wishing I could float far away
Float far away, float far away
Fluorescent tubes hum a song
Where the lonely things belong
White tiles shine like winter ice
Paying such a heavy price
Suds are swirling in a wheel
Coldest touch of polished steel
I am an anchor out of place
Looking for a familiar face
Washing off the brine and the grey
Wishing I could float far away
Float far away, float far away
Water beats against the glass
Watching all the strangers pass
Folding shirts in neat little rows
While the midnight river flows
I am weighted, I am bound
Holding fast to the concrete ground
I am an anchor out of place
Looking for a familiar face
Washing off the brine and the grey
Wishing I could float far away
Float far away, float far away
Rain is drumming on the roof
Of my longing, this is proof
I can't swim and I can't fly
Underneath a city sky
Just a stone in a plastic bin
Waiting for the light to dim
Steam is rising in the air
Like a heavy, humid prayer
Someone left a woolen coat
While I dream of a wooden boat
Iron longing for the deep
Where the quiet currents sweep
I am an anchor out of place
Looking for a familiar face
Washing off the brine and the grey
Wishing I could float far away
Float far away, float far away
Cold iron on the tiled floor
I don't want to wander anymore
Just let me sink, let me go
Down where the heavy waters flow
