I wish I was a fisherman Dumbling on the sea Far away from the dry land And its bitter memories Casting out my sweet line With abandonment and love Sealy buried down on me Starry skies above Light in my head I wish I was the brick man On a hurtling fever train Crashing headlong into the heartland

I wish I was a fisherman A tumbling on the sea Far away from the dry land And its bitter memories Casting out my sweet line With abandoned men in love No ceiling bearing down on me The starry skies above Light in my head I wish I was the brick man On a hurtling fever train Crashing headlong into the heartland

a cannon in the rain The beating of the sleepers And the burning of the coal Cutting towns flashing by And the night was full of soul Light in my head Oh, you in my arms I will be loosened From the bonds that hold me fast The chains all hung around me Will fall away at last And on that fine and faithful day I will take thee in my hand And I will ride on that train I will be the fisherman Light
