The Fisherman Lyrics - 6 And 12 String Guitar - Leo Kottke

I heard your voice at midnight 

By the river shore 

I saw your child sleeping 

Behind an open door 

The moon was in the river 

Shining up from the floor 

And the fish swam like moonlight 

Through your child's closing door 

And morning is the long way home 

The fisherman was drowning 

By his broken heel 

His screams were tiny bubbles 

And his tongue made of steel 

When he died his teeth made stones 

For your lonely child to feel 

And his eyes like prayers were quiet 

When you heard his tongues of steel 

And morning is the long way home

The ghost of ghosts was passing 

And the grasses waved like hair 

I Knew I'd die forgotten 

I'm the whisper of your care 

The water would surround me 

And my body would despair 

But my heart would understand 

The door that's closing there 

And morning is the long way home
