Love Is An Anchor

Love is an anchor you tether to a stranger
And hope you don't get washed out with the tide
Love is a virtue, not something you fall into
I choose to suffer by your side
We can navigate through all our good intentions
You can tally up all the promises I break
We can cry enough tears to flood this river
And wash us both away
And when the good times come, we'll barely notice them
When the hard ones do, we will be ready
There's something sad about an honest man
That keeps her engine steady
Love is a sail for when the engine fails
Blowing me back safely to your arms
Love is a vessel
The sea's not always gentle
But I can be your shelter from the storm
We can navigate through all our good intentions
You can tally up all the promises I break
We can cry enough tears to flood this river
And wash us both away
And when the good times come, we'll barely notice them
When the hard ones do, we will be ready
There's something sad about an honest man
That keeps her engine steady
That keeps her engine steady
