a song about fishing - genesis owusu lyrics

[verse 1]
the mud in my fingers had dried to a crust
sleep in my eyes, i pick my rust
my boots have been ravaged in browns and grays, i’ve
seen no scales and i’ve, seen no pay
but still i trudge to the spotless stream
not a bird in the sky or a fish in the sea
to dwell in these waters is a foolish way
to believe one night, i’ll win the day

[chorus]
rise and shine, to dawn i wake
to cast my net in a fishless lake
rise and shine, to dawn i wake
casting my net in a fishless lake

[post*chorus]
each day like a retake
fisherman inside a sweepstake
each day like a retake
fisherman inside a sweepstake
each day like a retake
fisherman inside a sweepstake
each day like a retake
fisherman inside a sweepstake
[verse 2]
i sailed down stream to see what had
pulled my boat along the land
swam the dirt, and walked the stream and
off the shore, i saw a bream and
tuna too, and salmon roe
do my eyes deceive, but my net had broke
i told my tale to a merchant man
he pittied me a dollar, and gave me his hand, he said

[chorus]
rise and shine, to dawn i wake
to cast my net in a fishless lake
rise and shine, to dawn i wake
casting my net in a fishless lake

[post*chorus]
each day like a retake
fisherman inside a sweepstake
each day like a retake
fisherman inside a sweepstake
each day like a retake
fisherman inside a sweepstake
each day like a retake
fisherman inside a sweepstake
[chorus]
rise and shine, to dawn i wake
to cast my net in a fishless lake
rise and shine, to dawn i wake
casting my net in a fishless lake
