FISHERMAN'S BLUES
Words and Music by Mike Scott




INTRO (BPM: 136)




I wish I was a fisherman tumbling on the sea
far away from dry land and it's bitter memories
casting out my sweet life with abandonment and love
no ceiling bearing down on me save the starry sky above
with light in my head and you in my arms

BREAK


I wish I was the brakeman on a hurtling fevered train
crashing a-headlong on into the heartland like a cannon in the rain
with the beating of the sleepers and the burning of the coal
counting the towns flashing by and the night that's full of soul
with light in my head and you in my arms

BREAK


tomorrow I will be loosened from the bonds that hold me fast
with the chains all hung around me will fall away at last
and on that fine and fateful day I will take me in my hand
I will ride on the train I will be the fisherman
with light in my head you in my arms

BREAK
