Lyrics
The Fisherman
I saw a fisherman drink his wages to set him free
and I wondered just how far off that might make me
will someone save me?
and there's a spot on my back that I can hardly reach
It's got an itch I can't scratch and I can't stand to sleep
will someone feel me?
or let me be
Chorus:
It's gonna be far
It's gonna be far to fall for me
I got seven white doves they're hustling up around me
they say the big ideas I got were sent to drown me
It's gonna be far
It's gonna be far to fall for me
I got seven white doves they're hustling up around me
they say the big ideas I got were sent to pound me
There's the babies whose eyes are always set to cry
and if they don't get their way I think they might explode
and I just smile
I know the feeling
So you say I'm crazy maybe I'm just tired
well either way I think I'm gonna hit the road
and don't you laugh
It won?t escape me
Chorus:
