Fisherman's Blues |
I wish I was a fisherman |
tumblin' on the seas |
Far away from dry land |
and its bitter memories |
Casting out my sweet line |
with abandonment and love |
No ceiling bearin' down on me Save the starry sky above |
With light in my head |
you in my arms |
Woo! |
I wish I was the brakeman |
on a hurtlin' fevered train |
Crashing a-headlong into the heartland |
like a cannon in the rain |
With the beating of the sleepers |
and the burnin' of the coal |
Counting the towns flashing by in a night that’s full of soul |
With light in my head |
you in my arms |
Woo! |
Tomorrow I will be loosened |
from bonds that hold me fast |
That the chains all hung around me will fall away at last |
And on that fine and fateful day |
I will take thee in my hands |
I will ride on the train |
I will be the fisherman |
With light in my head |
you in my arms |
Light in my head |
You in my arms (repeat) |
