The song “Rusty Anchor“ from the second album of The Wild Rover “We Can Stand It All“ is based on Iosif Brodskiy’s “The Ballad Of The Little Tugboat“ and dedicated to our beloved city Perm
Lyrics:
I have the feeling that it’s all about me
And I just know how it feels
I’m like the tugboat from the Brodskiy’s ballad
I’m the shadow of this pier
I’m not recognizable to myself
I’m feeling lonely again
Oh Rusty Anchor
You’ve been here for years
And in this water you’ll find peace
The clouds have flown
The friends have gone
And in this river I belong to
I see reflection of the faded dreams
I won’t forget what I’ve seen
