Fisherman's Song

In a pine forest cooler

Than the rest of the island

Lives a young fisherman

With eyes like the sea

He built his own boat

And made his own cabin

But he's broken the hearts

Of the likes of me

Now you must understand

He made me a promise

There were secrets we shared

We planted a tree

We lived in his cabin

I fished along side of him

I fell under the spell

Of his sorcery

When he cast me adrift

At the end of the summer

It was not for another

But his own privacy

I fell apart like a rose

But the scent of my longing

Remains and it weeps

Like an old willow tree

At night when its still

With the yellow moon rising

When his candle is snuffed

And he's deep in a dream

I move like a cat

And crawl into his window

And lie down beside him

In a golden moon beam

The smell of his skin

Is just like the summer

When our love was as fresh

As the grass in the fields

And ever so softly

I kiss his eyelids

Before slipping away

My secret concealed

Though I'm in it alone

I'm still in it in love

And love can be lonely

Like a sweet melody

But just maybe he feels me

Like a whisper inside him

Like an angel beside him

Deep in him company
