Anchored down on a windy day
Feeling all the love through heartache
Gut wrenching turns; feeling the burn
Time to make use of what I’ve learned
Baby let it rain
Let me soak your pain!
I’m on my knees but not to pray
Looking for every single way
Pleading to the crying skies
Drawing on my strength inside
Baby let it rain
Let me soak your pain!
Anchor’s aweigh!
Anchor’s aweigh!
Let’s sail far away
Forget yesterday!
Live for today
Put that anchor away!

I wrote this as a poem and it very quickly became a song. I never did a high quality recording of it but I do have the original recording in a file somewhere.
The message of this song is as bittersweet as the music I wrote to go with it. The person it is about is someone I have not talked to in years and may never talk to again but she knows who she is.
