Cast the anchor far from me To the ghosts Who wait so patiently Hold me still Only then can I run Only then can I run Hold me still It's all covert and secretive You won't survive With what you give Get on the right side Get off this page It's subterfuge and counteract With all these monkeys on my back Maybe I am better in my cage Then I run in the wrong direction And blame all of my wrong turns on you With all my dreams Between the old and the new All the summers I've spent Singing sad laments Are coming back to haunt me now I misunderstood But maybe you could Send away the wolves And send in the clowns Cast the anchor far from me Cast the anchor far from me Cast the anchor far from me Cast the anchor far from me
