Anchorless Lyrics - Singles - The Weakerthans

They called here to tell me 

That you're finally dying 

Through a veil of childish cries 

Southern Manitoba 

Prairie's pulling at the 

Pant leg of your bad disguise 

So why were you so 

Anchorless 

A boat abandoned in some backyard 

Anchorless 

Small town that you lived and died in 

Shoe box full of photos 

Found a grainy mirror 

Sunken cheeks and slender hands 

Grocery lists and carbon 

Copied letters offer 

Silence for my small demands 

Hey how'd you get so 

Anchorless 

A boat abandoned in some backyard 

Anchorless 

Small town that you lived and died in 

Got an armchair from your family home 

Got your P.G. Wodehouse novels and your telephone 

Got your plates and stainless steel 

Got that way of never saying what you really feel so 

Anchorless 

A boat abandoned in some backyard 

Anchorless 

Small town that you lived and died in 

Don't want to live and die here 

Don't want to live and die here where we're 

Anchorless, anchorless 

Anchorless, anchorless 

Small town that we live and die in
