lyrics

Sometimes the Big Fish
(Dunsford / Harewood / Jones)

Sometimes the big fish are so close in shore
I could scoop them with my hand
But then I never want to stretch that far
And so I’ m restless on dry land.
If we could talk it over.

Sometimes a cloud burst, I can’t remember
How it was before the rain
But then the tides recede and I’m left with
All this wreckage to explain.
If we could talk it over.

If you could talk to me
We’d make no sense of what I say
I talk in calendars
And live an endless day to day
If you could talk to me
We’d make no sense of what I say
I talk in years gone by
They get shorter everyday
Sometimes the big fish.

Sometimes it’s easy, I hear voices
“He lives on the second floor”.
And then the footsteps and the shadows
In the light beneath my door.
If we could talk it over.

If you could talk to me
We’d make no sense of what I say
I talk in calendars
And live an endless day to day
If you could talk to me
We’d make no sense of what I say
I talk in years gone by
They get shorter everyday

If we could talk it over
We’d chase away my routine
The cruel cycle of the days
Would all give way
To just a whisper
If we could talk it over

If you could talk to me
We’d make no sense of what I say
I talk in calendars
And live an endless day to day
If you could talk to me
We’d make no sense of what I say
I talk in years gone by
They get shorter everyday
Sometimes the big fish.
