Lyrics Fisherman's Blues (2nd Version) - The Waterboys
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
You
in
my
arms
Woo!
I
wish
I
was
the
brakeman
On
a
hurtlin'
fevered
train
Crashing
a-headlong
into
the
heartland
Like
a
cannon
in
the
rain
With
the
beating
of
the
sleepers
And
the
burnin'
of
the
coal
Counting
the
towns
flashing
by
In
a
night
that's
full
of
soul
With
light
in
my
head
You
in
my
arms
Woo!
Tomorrow
I
will
be
loosened
From
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
the
train
I
will
be
the
fisherman
With
light
in
my
head
You
in
my
arms
Light
in
my
head
You
in
my
arms
