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
