Ceili Rain - The Fighting Chair lyrics

rate me

I was standing on the shoreline

Fishin' pole gettin' heavy in my hand

As usual catchin' nothin

the story of my life, the story of the man

Then some geezer in a schooner

Said "Son, take a look at the sky

Still time to get out where the fish are

Still time to find the gleam in your eye

You wanna catch a big one, you wanna be a hero?

You'll never get nothin' standin' over there

So strap yourself in and we'll sail away deep

You only reel' em in from the fighting chair"

It felt scary, kinda crazy, like things usually feel to me

But it got me thinking I'm standin'

On the shoreline everytime there's somewhere to be

So I jumped up on his schooner

He straps me in, puts the pole in my hand

He said "Twillight is gonna get you head right

You're gonna feel clean, you're gonna make a stand

I felt somethin', somethin'

I started tuggin', tuggin'

Said "Brother, this is it, the only way you beat me is if I up and quit!"

Well I ain't quit - well, not yet

In my daydreams, I drop my line in

They all swim my laughin' in my face

But I belive if I snag that one big fish

It'll makethe vision go away

We all have one good catch in us, one sweet day, one perfect moonlight

Gonna sail out into the wind and I'll taste the salt water on my face tonight

Wanna find love, wanna find home

Lookin' for peace is a hard, hard struggle

Strap yourself in to the fighting chair

I'm gonna make my own peace with the fighting chair<br />
