Lyrics
YOU'RE MY ANCHOR
c. 1999 Chad Gray Smith/Camille Giustino
Oh - Christine - marry me,
'Cause without you - I'll just drift at sea
You're my anchor"
Bobby swears he's not a fisherman
As he kisses Chris good-bye
"One more paycheck then I'm done, love"
But that's what he'd said last time
Now Bobby's on the gangplank
Saying, "Chris I need to know"
She says, "I'll wait until you get back
It's not forever - you'd better go"
The time has come for a commitment
She can see it in his eyes
Though he's squinting through the last call
From the Crow's Nest last night
The ship's crew is on the main deck
Shouting, "C'mon mate lets go,
She'll have weeks to think it over
Maybe forever - you never know"
The time had come for commitment
She had seen that in his eyes
And though she's never heard a warning
She feels something she can't describe
'Til the call comes in - no details
But as the hurricane takes hold
She's left to think about his question
And 'bout the answer - he'll never know
Oh, Christine - marry me,
'Cause without you - I'll just drift at sea
You're my anchor
Oh, Bobby - please believe
(That) without you - I'll just drift at sea
You're my anchor
