The Extra Lens - Tug on the Line lyrics

rate me

Sun shown down on a cloudless sea

We were out on the water, my father and me

With several friends of the family along for the ride

And out on the calm water we killed the motor

And spread our nets wide

Keep your face to the wind and you'll be fine

And wait for the tug on the line

Everyone getting restless when we pulled up the net

We dropped it down on the deck and everyone's feet got wet

And the fish that looked like monsters from way down where the water gets cold

Slid down the deck like shuffleboard coasters and made for the hold

Everyone's eyes like saucers nobody saying a word

Keep your face to the wind and you'll be fine

And wait for the tug on the line

Sailed home in silence across the cold sea

Several friends of the family, my father and me

Something down below deck that we would try to forget

Shapeless and probably nameless as a vet

Keep your face to the wind and you'll be fine

And wait for the tug on the line
