Rob Redhead - Fishermans Blues / The Waterboys<br /><br />I wish I was a fisherman<br />Tumblin' on the seas<br />Far away from dry land<br />And its bitter memories<br /><br />Casting out my sweet line<br />With abandonment and love<br />No ceiling bearin' down on me<br />except the starry sky above<br /><br />With light in my head<br />You in my arms<br /><br />I wish I was a brakeman<br />On a hurtlin' fevered train<br />Crashing through the heartland<br />Like a cannon in the rain<br /><br />With the beating of the sleepers<br />And the burnin' of the coal<br />Counting the towns flashing by<br />In a night that's full of soul<br /><br />With light in my head<br />You in my arms<br /><br />I know I will be loosened<br />From bonds that hold me fast<br />That the chains all hung around me<br />Will fall away at last<br /><br />And on that fine and fateful day<br />I will take thee in my hand<br />I will ride on the train<br />I will be the fisherman<br /><br />With light in my head<br />You in my arms<br /><br />Light in my head<br />You in my arms<br />
