Daniel Lanois - Fisherman's Daughter Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I laid awake a whole night long,
  • waiting for the sun to beat down on my head
  • in this broken bed
  • I laid awake and dreamt of ships
  • passing through night,
  • searching for shelter,
  • stopping at no harbor
  • I heard the screaming waters
  • call sixty sailors' names
  • Raging words, pounding on the sail
  • like an angry whale
  • I felt the iron rudder skip
  • the smell of seeping oil,
  • the heat of slipping rope.
  • Failing hands, failing hope
  • Every sailor asks...
  • asks the question about the cargo
  • he is carrying
  • God's anger broke through the clouds
  • and He spilt the cargo for all to see -
  • The fault of the sailor,
  • the fault of he who asks no questions
  • about the cargo he is carrying
  • Fishes and tales and a fisherman's daughter
  • walks in the rain, she walks to the water
  • to the sea
