Fisherman's Blues Lyrics - Fisherman's Blues - Waterboys

I wish I was a fisherman 

Tumblin' on the seas 

Far away from dry land 

And its bitter memories 

Casting out my sweet line 

With abandonment and love 

No ceiling bearin' down on me 

Save the starry sky above 

With light in my head 

You in my arms, woo 

I wish I was the brakeman 

On a hurtlin' fevered train 

Crashing a-headlong into the heartland 

Like a cannon in the rain

With the beating of the sleepers 

And the burnin' of the coal 

Counting the towns flashing by 

In a night that's full of soul 

With light in my head 

You in my arms, woo 

Tomorrow I will be loosened 

From bonds that hold me fast 

That the chains all hung around me 

Will fall away at last 

And on that fine and fateful day 

I will take thee in my hands 

I will ride on the train 

I will be the fisherman 

With light in my head 

You in my arms, woo

Light in my head 

You in my arms 

Light in my head 

You 

Light in my head 

You in my arms 

Light in my head 

And woo, woo
