lyrics

SHIP WITHOUT ANCHOR

Take to boat with weary oars
Cast off from familiar shores
To come home late in desperate plight
Finding trouble in my own home

As the monks say mercy me
Is this the god I’ve know
Is this the god I’ve known

Like a ship without anchor
Like a ship lost at sea
I’m adrift and cut lose
Without being free
Without being free

The minds a kingdom unto itself
It makes a heaven, makes a hell
There’s an ocean in my soul
Forever floating there I know
Forever floating there alone

Like a ship without anchor
Like a ship lost at sea
I’m adrift and cut lose
Without being free
Without being free

There making music in my head
I’ve found the tune but lost the thread
That leads me back to what I once new
But so long ago forgot
A truth so long ago forgot

Like a ship without anchor
Like a ship lost at sea
I’m adrift and cut lose
Without being free
Without being free

As we all say mercy me
Is this the god I’ve know
Is this the god I’ve known
