The Fisherman

[Verse 1] Awake before sunrise Sweep the woodsmoke from my eyes Jenny sings from the yellow wood And I reply to an empty room We grieve for the autumn Leaves that rain as I'm walking Through the dawn to the waterside A hopeful cast, a line well-tied [Chorus] When I'm gone, when I'm gone When I'm gone I'll be forgotten Flowing water, rising sun Hollow bones white as cotton [Verse 2] She wades in the water Long havе I been courting her Searching under a silvеr sheet A glimpse of gold, a missing beat She breaks from the darkness Pure and bright in her gracefulness She's caught at last by the early light A parting glance, then out of sight [Chorus] When I'm gone, when I'm gone When I'm gone I'll be forgotten Flowing water, rising sun Hollow bones white as cotton When I'm gone, when I'm gone When I'm gone I'll be forgotten Flowing water, rising sun Hollow bones white as cotton When I'm gone, when I'm gone When I'm gone I'll be forgotten Flowing water, rising sun Hollow bones white as cotton
