Anchorless Songtext
von The Weakerthans

They called here to tell me that you′re finally dying
Through a veil of childish cries
Southern Manitoba prairie's pulling at the
Pant leg of your bad disguise

So why were you so anchorless?
A boat abandoned in some backyard
Anchorless
Small town that you lived and died in

Shoe box full of photos, found a grainy mirror
Sunken cheeks and slender hands
Grocery lists and carbon-copied letters offer
Silence for my small demands


Hey, how′d you get so anchorless?
A boat abandoned in some backyard
Anchorless
Small town that you lived and died in

Got an armchair from your family home
Got your P.G. Wodehouse novels and your telephone
Got your plates and stainless steel
Got that way of never saying what you really feel

So anchorless
A boat abandoned in some backyard
Anchorless
Small town that you lived and died in

Don't want to live and die here
Don't want to live and die here

Where we′re anchorless
Anchorless
Small towns that we live and die in
