Song title: Jane Siberry - When Last I Was A Fisherman

Edit By: 216.73.216.253

When last I was a fisherman
 I'd watch the storms rise up from the sea
 And see it as a sign to me
 That the sea was still my mistress
 And teasing me for love

When last I was a fisherman
 I'd watch the whale-fish blow
 And rise up from the darkest deep real slow
 And see it as a sign to me
 That she was still my mistress
 And teasing me for love

I never knew why she loved me
 I never tried for her favour
 I wouldn't have known how
 I wouldn't have known how
 And I didn't have the know-how
 To heel and toe her, heel and toe her
 I only knew that she was my mistress
 And teasing me for love

When last I was a fisherman
 I lay along the sea wall
 My body pressed against
 The blue of her occupation elsewhere
 She was busy with the other boats
 But I knew she'd turn her belly back to me
 When she was free

When last I was a fisherman
 I'd stand against the sea
 My skiff adrift in ecstasy
 The mast a-singing, the salt a-stinging
 I'd see it as a sign to me
 That she was still my mistress
 And just teasing me for love

I never knew why she loved me...

When last I was a fisherman
 I lay awake one night
 Her cooing and raving nearby
 And I waited in youthful eagerness
 For the dawn's first hint of light
 For my mistress to come
 For she to come to me
 I knew she was coming
 I could feel her coming
 And I waited and I waited
 And I waited and I waited...
 'Til I raised my voice unto the night
 And only heard a baby's cry

I never knew why she loved me...
