lyrics

All is forgotten I’ve left it by the riverside, I’ve thrown in down the canyon and walked away. I won’t remember nothing from the north unto the south, I’ve buried it six feet down into the ground. All is forgiven rest assured you can take my words, my heart is the anchor of your drifting ship. And I too am The Captain keeping you from certain death, for when I breathe its the wind that blows your sails.

And it sounds like...

When your body crumbles it cracks and creeks beneath your feet and your hair turns white as the crashing waves. For I will never fail you when you come to your hearts end and understanding circumstance is gone. Because all I have given it can’t be given back to me, whats done is done is written its history. For I will continue to be with you when your mind fails even when you don’t feel that I am.

And it sounds like...

All is forgiven rest assured you can take my words, my heart is the anchor of your drifting ship.
