Fisherman Lyrics by Troy Cassar-Daley

Brighter Day

0

[Verse 1]
My grandfather's father
Worked on the river
And went out to sea
When the tides were right
Sometimes there weren't enough
Fish to deliver
Sometimes the gunnels
Would be piled up high

[Verse 2]
Me and my dad
Had a boat we call Freedom
And it's gettin' harder
To see our way clear
When the odds were against us
We tried to beat 'em
But we battle through
Yеar after year

[Chorus]
I throw out my soul
To the wild bluе yonder
And where it would take me, sometimes I wonder
I can find my way home by the stars in the sky
'Cause I'm a fisherman
Yeah, a fisherman
Till the day I die
Till the day I die

[Verse 3]
I'm a fourth-generation
Man of the water
My nets and my lines
Are the tools of my trade
I'll be here tomorrow
First thing in the morning
Coming out of the mist
Like a small town parade

[Chorus]
I throw out my soul
To the wild blue yonder
And where it would take me, sometimes I wonder
I can find my way home by the stars in the sky
'Cause I'm a fisherman
Yes, a fisherman
Till the day I die
Till the day I die

[Bridge]
But there's not much to mention
'Bout the fishing these days
'Cause my license, and my livin'
Have been taken away
So I sit on my veranda
And look across the bay

[Chorus]
And I throw out my soul
To the wild blue yonder
And where it would take me, sometimes I wonder
I can find my way home by the stars in the sky
'Cause I'm a fisherman
Yes, a fisherman
I throw out my soul
To the wild blue yonder
And where it would take me, sometimes I wonder
I can find my way home by the stars in the sky
'Cause I'm a fisherman
Yes, a fisherman
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
