Jane Siberry - When Last I Was A Fisherman слова песни
When last I was a fishermanI`d watch the storms rise up from the seaAnd see it as a sign to meThat the sea was still my mistressAnd teasing me for loveWhen last I was a fishermanI`d watch the whale-fish blowAnd rise up from the darkest deep real slowAnd see it as a sign to meThat she was still my mistressAnd teasing me for loveI never knew why she loved meI never tried for her favourI wouldn`t have known howI wouldn`t have known howAnd I didn`t have the know-howTo heel and toe her, heel and toe herI only knew that she was my mistressAnd teasing me for loveWhen last I was a fishermanI lay along the sea wallMy body pressed againstThe blue of her occupation elsewhereShe was busy with the other boatsBut I knew she`d turn her belly back to meWhen she was freeWhen last I was a fishermanI`d stand against the seaMy skiff adrift in ecstasyThe mast a-singing, the salt a-stingingI`d see it as a sign to meThat she was still my mistressAnd just teasing me for loveI never knew why she loved me...When last I was a fishermanI lay awake one nightHer cooing and raving nearbyAnd I waited in youthful eagernessFor the dawn`s first hint of lightFor my mistress to comeFor she to come to meI knew she was comingI could feel her comingAnd I waited and I waitedAnd I waited and I waited...`Til I raised my voice unto the nightAnd only heard a baby`s cryI never knew why she loved me...
