Lyrics
Fisherman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I stop and wish again, that I was a fisherman
Trade a noisy highway for the sound of the sea
To know the mountain air, and make my stay up there
Don't feel much like singing in a place not meant for me
Well darlin' I don't fit here
And they don't understand you
While my friends are gettin' high
I'll tell you all my secrets and we'll sail away
And leave this town behind
Well darling I don't fit here
And they don't understand you
So while my friends are gettin' high
I'll tell you all my secrets and we'll sail away
And leave this town behind
Oh oh
Fingers all around us
But I don't really mind, oh oh
We'll leave this town behind
Fingers all around us
But I don't really mind, oh oh
We'll leave this town behind
(Hey, hey)
Ohh
(Hey, hey)
Ohh
Ohh
(Hey, hey)
Ooo
And when your thoughts run wild
You got me by your side
There is nothing left for us on this side of the sea
'Cause darling I don't fit here
And they don't understand you
So while my friends are gettin' high
I'll tell you all my secrets and we'll sail away
And leave this town behind
