"THE FISHERMAN" (Tale Of How Love Got Away)
words and music by james lee ternosky
Ebony river. First morning light
The fisherman sets on his way
Mist on the water. Cloud in his heart
He pushes from shore; and escapes
Drifting in silence. Drifting in time
Back to those innocent days
Back to a young girl in t-shirt and jeans
Back to a distant embrace
(chorus)
Cold waters behind
Hope of the new day ahead
Age-old fisherman's tale
Tale of what once came his way
Tale of how love got away
Tale of how love got away
Sweet summer laughter still in his head
Whispers and dreams in the dark
When he said "I'll try to be all that you need"
And she said "You already are"
Never forgotten, late summer pledge
She would be changing her name
But they didn't count on a change in her heart
And he's never met quite the same
Repeat chorus
And he stays on his course
Looks for a love like the one that he lost
Trusting his luck will get better some day
The fisherman, casting away
Repeat chorus
