Fisherman's Dream
What happened to the fisherman's dream,
When they rolled that last boat down.
What happened to the fisherman's dream,
When he cast his last net around.
What happened to the fisherman's dream,
When they rolled that last boat down.
What happened to the fisherman's dream,
When he cast his last net around.
Wearing no protection
As they cut her into sections,
She's just splitting.
All throughout the crazy action,
Counted a bit better if a bird that flies.
I know this mad excitement:
Isn't it fine to know
That love is real
In what we feel
And all we have to show.
In all this gay confusion,
It's a comfort just to see,
That what you say,
Is what you mean,
The words are meant for me.
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Birds fly high.
There's a land that I dreamed of once
In a lullaby.
I watch the day go down,
Sad fire.
I watch my luck turn round
The high flyer.
I drew my bones around
Sure fire.
The last time I saw you,
I saw the writing on the wall.
I didn't like it,
I didn't like it at all.
I look at my telephone,
I let it ring and ring.
I do the crying,
Let the wire do the singing.
Back with a vengeance;
Back to break your heart again.
Back with a vengeance,
Back to break your heart.
Hiss on the tape.
She's just a hiss on the tape...
She's just a hiss on the tape,
Her head's so dirty.
She's a girl on the make,
She could be fifteen or thirty.
The answer may be yesterday.
May be yes, today,
She may say no, tomorrow.
She says she might find some way,
She says no today,
She may say yes, tomorrow.
Your baby can't see you now, she's busy;
She recommends you go and see Sister Lizzy.
Step around the corner,
Up against the wall;
See to your needs - no trouble at all.
