Small Fish
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.
The fisherman smiled at me
Were empty people
Floating out to sea
The rain lashed down in darkness
A lizard blinked an eye
And time stopped in the silence
The small fish gave a cry
The next thing that I saw as,
Things were fading fast
Were dreams of children's laughter,
Smoldering to dust
The rain lashed down in darkness
A lizard blinked an eye
And time stopped in the silence
The small fish gave a cry
The last thing that I saw as, my life passed by
Were fields of empty people, laying down to die
The rain lashed down in darkness
A lizard blinked an eye
And time stopped in the silence
To watch the burning sky.
