Throw Out A Line And Dream

(앨범: Bridge Of Sighs - 1987)

I said look at the river
You said it's only a stream
But I said I've seen people with nets out there
You said they just throw out a line and dream

I see a river, you see a stream
Wise men sleep it is fools who dream
Men out there trying to net the moon
Come on down to the river (the sun is going down)
The fish will be jumping soon

Throw out a line and dream

I said look at the harbour
You said it's only a quay
And I said I've seen big ships sailing in
You said they leave and they sail out to sea

I say a harbour, you say a quay
You want them locked up I want them free

I said look at the road
You said it's only a track
And I said I've seen people with trucks out there
You said they leave and they don't come back

I say a road and you say a track
I seem to need you just to bring me back
From the edge of the earth where it touches the sky
Come on down to the road (look at the horizon)
And feel the trucks rolling by

I see a river, you see a stream
Wise men sleep, it is fools who dream
Men out there, trying to net the moon
Come on down to the river (the sun is going down)
The fish will be jumping soon
