I wish I was that fisherman Stumblin' on the seas Far away from dry land And its bitter memories Casting out my sweet line With abandonment and love No ceiling bearin' down on me Except the starry sky above With light in my head You in my arms ♪ With light in my head You in my arms ♪ I wish I was the brakeman On a hurtlin' fevered train Crashing headlong into the heartland Like a cannon in the rain With the feelin' of the sleepers And the burnin' of the coal Counting the towns passing by On a night that's full of soul With light in my head You in my arms ♪ With light in my head You in my arms ♪ I know I will be loosened From bonds that hold me fast And the chains all around me Will fall away at last And on that grand and fateful day I will take thee in my hands I will ride on that train I will be the fisherman With light in my head You in my arms ♪ With light in my head You in my arms ♪ With light in my head And you in my arms ♪ With light in my head You in my arms ♪ Light in my head You in my arms
