Fisherman's Song Lyrics - Carly Simon

In a pine forest cooler 

Than the rest of the island 

Lives a young fisherman 

With eyes like the sea 

He built his own boat 

And made his own cabin 

But he's broken the hearts 

Of the likes of me 

Now you must understand 

He made me a promise 

There were secrets we shared 

We planted a tree 

We lived in his cabin 

I fished along side of him 

I fell under the spell 

Of his sorcery

When he cast me adrift 

At the end of the summer 

It was not for another 

But his own privacy 

I fell apart like a rose 

But the scent of my longing 

Remains and it weeps 

Like an old willow tree 

At night when its still 

With the yellow moon rising 

When his candle is snuffed 

And he's deep in a dream 

I move like a cat 

And crawl into his window 

And lie down beside him 

In a golden moon beam 

Photos 

The smell of his skin 

Is just like the summer 

When our love was as fresh 

As the grass in the fields 

And ever so softly 

I kiss his eyelids 

Before slipping away 

My secret concealed 

Though I'm in it alone 

I'm still in it in love 

And love can be lonely 

Like a sweet melody 

But just maybe he feels me 

Like a whisper inside him 

Like an angel beside him 

Deep in him company
