The Anchor Song Lyrics

[00:16.78] I live by the ocean
[00:23.57]
[00:27.15] And during the night
[00:33.11]
[00:37.39] I dive into it
[00:44.84]
[00:48.04] Down to the bottom
[00:53.49]
[00:58.69] Underneath is all currents
[01:05.57] And drop my anchor
[01:11.88] And this is where I'm staying
[01:17.98] This is my home
[01:22.92]
[01:36.90] I live by the ocean
[01:42.70]
[01:47.73] And during the night
[01:53.46]
[01:57.47] I dive into it
[02:07.77] Down to the bottom
[02:12.86]
[02:17.86] Underneath is all currents
[02:25.42] And drop my anchor
[02:31.34] And this is where I'm staying
[02:37.52] This is my home
[02:39.01]
