"Anchors Aweigh" lyrics

"Anchors Aweigh"

Anchors away
I've opened up my mind to other things
Anchored my bait
To the depths of the ocean's breath down inside
And you're a sea cree pine?
I've combed the beach and cleared my throat
I've opened up my overcoat
And I've learned
Once drowned is twice dried

I've drifted too far
Drifted from the harbor that we've had
I could swim out
Know that I tried to, but I doubt
I could do much more than wish

For if not the ocean's depth
Something else will take the breath from my lungs
And you, you are so young

Full speed ahead
I saw it in your eyes
So black and dead
Razor glass cold
I saw it in the mirror and the foam

And I was lost in your foam

If not the ocean's depth
Something else will take the breath from my lungs
And you, you are so young
You are so young (anchors away)
So young Anchors away (anchors away)
Anchors away (anchors away)
Anchors away (anchors away)
