Anchor & Ship

Ian Fischer

When the sky was filled with dawn and all the fools had gone
Back to homes and back to sleep
While they dreamed they filled the streets
With a silence that revealed them to me
Alone in a big old city

Jester for the court and horses for the king
They've got everything there
An anchor and a ship where
I had once been lost at sea
Alone in a big old city

Billboards and TV taught me everything I need
To climb aboard that ship and act like I'm a real man
And go back home and back to sleep
And never ever ever dream
Alone in a big old city
