Safe at Anchor - Kate Wolf

Here I stand alone again,

Reaching out across the room

Quietly the sun’s gone down

And sailors seek the harbor

Look at us sailing in, decks awash, but still afloat

And now the wind’s come up to rock us on the water.

Riding out the storm like a ship safe at anchor

Waiting out the long voyage,

'Round the cape of hope we’ll take her

In the calm before the storm

Sunny days and smoother waters

When we hit the seventh wave,

We found a line and caught her

Look into my eyes, let me see

Where you’ve been sailing

Like you I’ve felt the storm

And heard the wild waves wailing

Riding out the storm like a ship safe at anchor

Waiting out the long voyage,

'Round the cape of hope we’ll take her

Steer clear of the shore,

The coast is rough and rocky

It’s the deepest channel that runs most true,

The brightest stars that mark her

Steady as she goes,

There’s no turning back the sailors

With the ship on course and the sea wind fair,

There’s no need to fail her.

Riding out the storm like a ship safe at anchor

Waiting out the long voyage,

'Round the cape of hope we’ll take her
