A ship without an anchor
Is a lovely thing to be
But when you find the tide a little strong

She'll pull you back to shore
If you've been floating out to sea
And set you back adrift before the dawn


She don't seem to mind
A little loving company

But she don't seem afraid to be alone
And it's mighty hard to hide
Behind a veil of irony

When she's up in het tower made of stone

Higher than mine

Higher than mine
Who said you could build your walls
So much higher than mine


Her smiling eyes remind me
Of a dirty magazine

And in between is what drives me up the wall
But when she gets to drinking
She's right where I want to be

Reminding me that nothing is going wrong
She's my queen of diamonds
But anyone could have her

As long as he knows how to play the part
Of that old King of Hearts
With one hand upon the dagger

And the other hand held on his heart

Higher than mine

Higher than mine
Who said you could build your walls
So much higher than mine
