INDIGO GIRLS - Fleet Of Hope lyrics
rate me<BR>
The fisherman comes up <br>
Puts his two poles in the sand <br>
He stares out at the sea <br>
Just exactly like me <br>
But I've got a book in my hand <br>
We will have caught on to something by the end of the day <br>
But mostly we think about the one that got away. <br>
<br>
I've seen like a bird <br>
What pleasures the surface can bring <br>
I've lost my best craft <br>
Going foolishly back <br>
To where to Sirens sing <br>
I've stared up at the place where the water meets the sky <br>
And though I stopped breathing I still believe I should try <br>
Maybe a boat in search of lost treasures will pass by. <br>
<br>
'Cause the fleet of hope is so pretty <br>
When she's shining in the port <br>
And the harbor clings to the jetty <br>
For protection and support <br>
Out in the choppy waters the sharks swim and play <br>
You're all washed up when Poseidon has his day. <br>
<br>
I've walked through the desert <br>
Climbed over mountains so high <br>
Through jungles and plains <br>
I took buses and trains <br>
And airplanes across the sky <br>
But none as seductive as ocean before me alone <br>
And now I know why <br>
You layered your pockets with stones. <br>
<br>
'Cause the fleet of hope is so pretty <br>
When she's shining in the port <br>
And the harbor clings to the jetty <br>
For protection and support <br>
Out in the choppy waters the sharks swim and play <br>
You're all washed up when Poseidon has his day. <br>
<br>
When I was a girl <br>
All of my fancy took flight <br>
And I had this dream <br>
Could outshine anything <br>
Even the darkest night <br>
Now I wait like a widow for someone to come back from sea <br>
I've always known <br>
I was waiting for me <br>
<br>
'Cause the fleet of hope is so pretty <br>
When she's shining in the port <br>
And the harbor clings to the jetty <br>
For protection and support <br>
Out in the choppy waters the sharks swim and play <br>
You're all washed up when Poseidon has his day.<br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
