Graves Are Anchors Above The Sea.mp3 recently someone asked me which song i was the most proud of & i told them 'graves are anchors above the sea'. the main reason being that the lyrics just came flowing one night when i wasn't really trying to write any lyrics at all. shortly after i grabbed my acoustic and the music came quickly as well. i really believe that my subconscious was working over time cause it knew i wanted to get these feelings out, but that i couldn't really do it if i had to 'work'. anyway i really love this song & i wanted to share it with you as well. its the last track on my 'ghost waltz' album & features dave lotfi on drums & percussion.
graves are anchors above the sea
doors may open, light may play
wind may blow, trees may sway
though the dark's still dark in every way
and death can speak, words may flee
oceans rise, sailors plea
and graves are anchors above the sea
are we? are we?
oh night by night candles learn
that books are bricks we lay and burn
and death is old yet new to us
but all we wonder is who to trust
for men are wrong & women lie
and at the end the questions why?
you're quite lovely a ghost would say
i will not lie i wish you stayed
but new yorks not so far, far away
i'll stay
oh night by night candles learn
that books are bricks we lay and burn
and death is old yet new to us
but all we wonder is who to trust
for men are wrong & women lie
and at the end the questions why?
