THE FISHERMAN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

standing on the widow's walk as night turns to day
I can still remember back when you went away
the sea was calm and empty and the waves lapped the shore
I promised you that I would wait for you evermore

and as the sails disappeared where blue turns to blue
I could feel the touch of fingers on my face too
somewhere out beyond the line the whales are breaking
but here along the rocky coast the dawn is waking
and I am waiting
just waiting

sometime after midnight I could hear the black storm
I forced myself out of my bed where I was still warm
the surf was smashing high and white and wild in the wind
and I was so afraid I'd never see you again

now every day I look to see the fishing boats arrive
there's no way I could know if you are dead or alive
downstairs the house is stirring and the bread is baking
and I am waiting,
just waiting
