"Anchor Child" lyrics

Cass McCombs Lyrics

"Anchor Child"

Born sick in a south Alaskan port
Had his pick of parents to abort
Raised queer by sewer rats 'neath planks
Crawled the pier onto an oiler tank
Anchor
Anchor
Anchor child

Beloved son of captains, crews and ships
Remained young 'cross thousands of sea-bound trips
Been seen as far as Cape St. Francis
Under giant stars on the USS Kansas
Anchor
Anchor
Anchor child

Some say he was hit by typhoon fist
Others say he never did exist
I hope he's sailing out there now
On his own boat, through the Panama Canal
Anchor
Anchor
Anchor
Anchor
Anchor
Anchor
Anchor child
