Anchor & Ship lyrics

When the sky was filled with dawn and all the fools had gone Back to homes and back to sleep While they dreamed they filled the streets With a silence that revealed them to me Alone in a big old city Jester for the court and horses for the king They've got everything there An anchor and a ship where I had once been lost at sea Alone in a big old city Billboards and TV taught me everything I need To climb aboard that ship and act like I'm a real man And go back home and back to sleep And never ever ever dream Alone in a big old city
