Spin Doctors - Fisherman's Delight lyrics

I will lay beside you

On this long and lonely night

'cause the flood that drowns the sailor

Is the fisherman's delight

Love is a super power

Like an endless sea

I will swim to you

If you will swim to me

I can drink your song

I'm drunken from your sound

If this is love then let me drown

Let me drown

What a perfect night

To forget your pain

And finally see the light

After forty nights of rain

Little boy blue come blow your horn

A melody yet to be born

I will lay beside you

On this long and lonely night

'cause the flood that drowns the sailor

Is the fisherman's delight...

The fisherman's delight

Once I was on the hill

Now I am in the hole

But there's a hope that prances

In the footlights of my soul

In a sea of sadness

Find a drop of gladness

Just to fill my bowl

I will lay beside you

On this long and lonely night

'cause the flood that drowns the sailor

Is the fisherman's delight...

The fisherman's delight

Lovers fill the streets

And drag there leaden feet

Somehow they always seem to cry

Bombs and blessings

Everybody's guessing

What will next fall from the sky

I will lay beside you

On this long and lonely night

'cause the flood that drowns the sailor

Is the fisherman's delight...

The fisherman's delight
