[00:00.00]Daniel Lanois - Fisherman's Daughter (LP Version)
[01:08.52]
[01:42.79]I laid awake a whole night long,
[01:45.30]Waiting for the sun to beat down on my head
[01:48.35]In this broken bed
[01:49.86]I laid awake and dreamt of ships
[01:53.09]Passing through night,
[01:54.73]Searching for shelter,
[01:55.99]Stopping at no harbor
[01:58.50]I heard the screaming waters
[02:00.47]Call sixty sailors' names
[02:02.92]Raging words, pounding on the sail
[02:05.42]Like an angry whale
[02:06.97]I felt the iron rudder skip
[02:09.54]The smell of seeping oil,
[02:11.19]The heat of slipping rope.
[02:13.05]Failing hands, failing hope
[02:15.99]Every sailor asks...
[02:17.83]Asks the question about the cargo
[02:19.85]He is carrying
[02:21.38]God's anger broke through the clouds
[02:24.68]And He spilt the cargo for all to see
[02:27.25]The fault of the sailor,
[02:28.84]The fault of he who asks no questions
[02:32.46]About the cargo he is carrying
[02:35.36]Fishes and tales and a fisherman's daughter
[02:39.16]Walks in the rain, she walks to the water
[02:41.68]To the sea
[02:44.80]
