Anchor from High Stone by JOHNNY CASINO
I had the music and the arrangement for this song a month or so before I got stranded in Philly as the pandemic hit full swing, it was while I sat there wondering how I would get home to Spain that the lyrics came to me, fears about my weight had my mind lost in thoughts of not making it home, and longing to have that simple touch of hands and love, a white boy from that great southern land Australia, more than likely failing at trying to sing a gospel blues BUT trying none the less!!

Lyrics
ANCHOR (John A Spittles)
As I sit and wonder
with this weight round my chest
Time is an anchor
And it´s playing with me
But if you find me rollin´
on that big open sea
I´m just thinkin bout you, thinkin´ bout me
It´s the way I am
And it´s the way I´m gunna be
Yeah I know it´s a long long road
Living with me
But if you tell me your secrets
well I´ll tell you mine
day after day, and time after time
Solo
Well it´s the way I am
And it´s the way I´m gunna be
I know it´s a long long road
Living with me
But if fate finds us wandering
I´ll remember a time
When I held your hand, and you held mine
