Ralph McTell - Thorw Out A Line And Dream Lyrics
I said look at the river.You said it's only a stream.But I said I've seen people with nets out thereYou said they just throw out a line and dream.I see a river, you see a streamWise men sleep it is fools who dreamMen out there trying to net the moonCome on down to the river (the sun is going down)The fish will be jumping soon.Throw out a line and dream.I said look at the harbour.You said it's only a quay,And I said I've seen big ships sailing in,You said they leave and they sail out to sea.I say a harbour, you say a quayYou want them locked up I want them free.ChorusI said look at the road.You said it's only a track,And I said I've seen people with trucks out thereYou said they leave and they don't come back.I say a road and you say a trackI seem to need you just to bring me backFrom the edge of the earth where it touches the skyCome on down to the road (look at the horizon)And feel the trucks rolling by.ChorusI see a river, you see a streamWise men sleep, it is fools who dreamMen out there, trying to net the moonCome on down to the river (the sun is going down)The fish will be jumping soon.Chorus
