Strum
D-DU-UDU
A one, two, three
I wish I was a fisherman
Tumblin' on the sea
Far away from dry land
And its bitter memories
Castin' out my sweet line
With abandonment and love
No ceiling bearin' down on me
'Cept the starry skys above
With light in my head
With you in my arms
Whoa oh oh
I wish I was the brakeman
On a hurtlin' fevered train
Crashin' head long in to the heartland
Just like a cannon in the rain
Feelin' of the sleepers
The burnin' of the coal
Watchin' towns that flash by me
And a night that's full of soul
With light in my head
With you in my arms
Whoa oh oh
And I know I will be loosened
From the bonds that hold me fast
And the chains all around me
Will fall away at last
And on that fine and fateful day
I will take thee in my arms
I will ride on a train
I gonna be the fisherman
With light in my head
With you in my arms
Whoa oh oh
With a light in my head
With you in my arms
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh yea, yea, yea yea yea yea!!!
With a light in my head
You in my arms...
With light in my head
Ooo ooo
With light in my head
You in my arms...
With light in my head
Woo
