Lyrics
Fishin' In The Dark
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.
If my name, Lord, comes around no more
I will surely miss it for a while or so
Should my friends desert me
I would try to make it on my own
And if the stars forsake me
I will surely find my way alone
But don't you take what we've got
Baby, please stay with me
And if you go, leave my heart
Baby, please set me free
On my life I swear to you truly, darlin
I never thought we'd drift apart
If you know, please let me go, darlin'
Don't leave me fishin' in the dark
Now, if my hands stop movin'
And my cash don't come
If I lost my power
I would sell my soul and start again
And if my demon left me
I would chase him down from where he came
