Fisherman's Delight Lyrics

Spin Doctors Fisherman's Delight

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

Love is a super power like an endless sea
I will swim to you if you will swim to me
I can drink your song, I'm drunken from your sound
If this is love then let me drown in it, let me drown

What a perfect night to forget your pain
And finally see the lights after forty nights of rain
Little boy blue, come blow your horn
A melody yet to be born

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight, the fisherman's delight

Once I was on the hill, now I am in the hole
But there's a hope that prances
In the footlights of my soul, in a sea of sadness
Find me drop of gladness just to fill my bowl

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight, the fisherman's delight

Keep it real with me
Keep a deal with me
Come on

Lovers fill the streets and drag their leaden feet
Somehow they always seem to cry
Bombs and blessings, everybody's guessing
What will next fall from the sky

I will lay before you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

I will lay beside you on this long and lonely night
'Cause the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight

The flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight
Said, the flood that drowns the sailor
Is the fisherman's delight, the fisherman's delight

Keep it real with me
Keep a deal with me
Come on
