Come celebrate my birthday with me.
Come celebrate my birthday with me.
Hey Fisherman
c. Marty Attridge 1982
Hey, hey Fisherman
You look as old as the sea herself
As old as the sea herself, then you must know
Hey, hey Fisherman
You look as wise as the good old Earth
But can you tell me what's its worth
Clear my head of things I've said
You must've have known him as a younger man
When he had things to say, that you couldn't understand
For there were fish to catch and nets to mend
But there's no one 'round to mend them anymore.
Hey, hey Fisherman
You look as grey as the sky above
As grey as the sky above, then you must know
Hey, hey Fisherman
Have you turned around to see?
The things you use to be and use to know
But that was long ago.
You must've have known him as a younger man
When he had things to say, that you couldn't understand
For there were fish to catch and nets to mend
But there's no one 'round to mend them anymore.
Hey, hey Fisherman
You look as old as the sea herself
As old as the sea herself, then you must know
How this story goes.
