jane siberry - when last i was a fisherman lyrics

Loading...

when last i was a fisherman
i’d watch the storms rise up from the sea
and see it as a sign to me
that the sea was still my mistress
and teasing me for love

when last i was a fisherman
i’d watch the whale-fish blow
and rise up from the darkest deep real slow
and see it as a sign to me
that she was still my mistress
and teasing me for love

i never knew why she loved me
i never tried for her favour
i wouldn’t have known how
i wouldn’t have known how
and i didn’t have the know-how
to heel and toe her, heel and toe her
i only knew that she was my mistress
and teasing me for love

when last i was a fisherman
i lay along the sea wall
my body pressed against
the blue of her occupation elsewhere
she was busy with the other boats
but i knew she’d turn her belly back to me

when she was free

when last i was a fisherman
i’d stand against the sea
my skiff adrift in ecstasy
the mast a-singing, the salt a-stinging
i’d see it as a sign to me
that she was still my mistress
and just teasing me for love

i never knew why she loved me…

when last i was a fisherman
i lay awake one night
her cooing and raving nearby
and i waited in youthful eagerness
for the dawn’s first hint of light
for my mistress to come
for she to come to me
i knew she was coming
i could feel her coming
and i waited and i waited
and i waited and i waited…
’til i raised my voice unto the night
and only heard a baby’s cry

i never knew why she loved me…
