I'm anchored by you

Natalie Heisey

Even though it’s only been a few months

I see the shift in your hands

I’m learning the shape of your silence

The way you still stand

 

You carry her absence like stone 

You never lay down I’m new to the map of your story But I’m here now

 

I don’t know the history

She left in your heart

But I see the beauty

In the man in the dark

 

Take all the time

You need tonight

I’ll stay close

I’ll stay right

 

 

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

 

When the room goes quiet

I won’t let go

I’ll be your steady

I’ll be your slow

 

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

 

 

I watch you move through the hollow

Of a life rearranged

You touch the same old doorway

Like it still knows her name

 

And I won’t rush the roses

That grow in your ache

I’ll love the boy in the midnight

And the man awake

 

 

I don’t need to fix it

I don’t need to win

I just want to be here

Where your breath comes in

 

Take all the time

You need tonight

I’ll stay close

I’ll stay right

 

 

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

 

When the room goes quiet

I won’t let go

I’ll be your steady

I’ll be your slow

 

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

 

 

Let the hard days come

Let them pass through

I won’t ask for easy

I will wait with you

 

If the dark feels long

I’ll hold the line

Loving you softly

One day at a time

 

[Final Chorus]

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

 

When the room goes quiet

I won’t let go

I’ll be your steady

I’ll be your slow

 

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

I’m anchored by you

(anchored by you)

 

Take all the time

You need to heal

I’ll be here

I’ll be real
