The Waterboys( Waterboys )

Fisherman's Blues

Lyricist：Michael Scott, Stephen Patrick Wickham

I wish I was a fisherman, tumblin' on the seas
Far away from dry land and it's 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

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

Tomorrow, I will be loosened from bonds that hold me fast
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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

Light in my head
You

Light in my head
You in my arms

Light in my head
[Incomprehensible]
