lyrics

“Anchorless”
©2021 John Blangero / Reborn Pelican Songs (BMI)

Gather up children and hear the words of men
Sour as spoiled milk with a dull knife of contempt
Brooding in silence after I have had my say
Anchorless and bidden on my way

Knocking at back doors on gravel-covered roads
This mule is bound for clover, but the stain of memory grows
The day is summer thick and I'm weary to the bone
Anchorless and searching for a home

The freight trains slumber in the rising heat
A woman's smile answers my prayers
She opens the door into her father’s empty house
Summer sweat is clinging, the summer sweat is clinging

If I could be who I was meant to be
Lord, this Southern girl would breathe life into me
Before the world wakes, she gives me her prize
I'm anchorless yet worthy in her eyes

I see her walking in the fields at night
Her long hair falling to her breasts
I kiss her eyelids in her father's empty house
Summer sweat is clinging, the summer sweat is clinging

If I could be who I wanted to be
Lord, this Southern girl would breathe life into me
Before the world wakes, I say my goodbyes
Still anchorless but wearing a disguise
