The Fisherman |
I heard your voice at midnight |
By the river shore |
I saw your child sleeping |
Behind an open door |
The moon was in the river |
Shining up from the floor |
And the fish swam like moonlight |
Through your child’s closing door |
And morning is the long way home |
The fisherman was drowning |
By his broken heel |
His screams were tiny bubbles |
And his tongue made of steel |
When he died his teeth made stones |
For your lonely child to feel |
And his eyes like prayers were quiet |
When you heard his tongues of steel |
And morning is the long way home |
The ghost of ghosts was passing |
And the grasses waved like hair |
I Knew I’d die forgotten |
I’m the whisper of your care |
The water would surround me |
And my body would despair |
But my heart would understand |
The door that’s closing there |
And morning is the long way home |
