Anchorless

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 Anchorless, anchorless Small town that we live and die in
