The Anchor And The Tide lyrics

The Sun dips slow on my heart's horizon And the shadows stretch across the porch A silence so thick I can almost touch it Like the ghost of a laugh in an empty hall You're chasing the dreams I used to dream for you While I'm here counting down the miles But the wires can't hold the weight of this fire And distance is just a line on a map My love for you, it's a constant beat A frequency that never goes out of range Miles can't fade What's etched in my skin A father's heart is a room you can't leave Yeah It's grander than the ocean floor It's wider than the sky I see you shining in the city lights I hear the hunger in your voices Now I might not be there to dry the tears, but I'm the anchor When the tides get high, I'm the anchor Just keep that fire burning Keep your eyes on the prize because my love is the bridge across the night A legacy of skin and soul and spirit You're the melody and I'm the steady beat My love for you, it's a constant beat A frequency that never goes out of range Miles can't fade What's etched in my skin A father's heart is a room you can't leave Yeah. It's grander than the ocean floor Is wider than the sky And if the world gets cold and the lights go down Look for the spark I left in your hearts It's a covenant. It's a living thing It's everything I have to give I love you. I'm still loving you across the miles, across the years Can you feel it? Can you hear the rhythm? My constant beat miles can't fade this love Yeah. Love you always
