Steve Wickham - Fisherman's Blues lyrics

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 With you in my arms I wish I was the brakeman On a hurtlin' fevered train Crashing headlong into the heartland Like a cannon in the rain With the feeling of the sleepers And the burning of the coal Counting the towns flashing by And a night that's full of soul With light in my head With you in my arms (instrumental break) Well, I know I will be loosened From the 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 a train I will be the fisherman With light in my head You in my arms Light in my head You in my arms Light in my head You in my arms Light in my head You in my arms You in my arms
