12. Gone fishing

Gone fishing
While my life is passing by
And my future’s high and dry
I’m having fun
Gone fishing
While vocation goes to ground
And ambition’s seldom found
I’m in the sun

You begin to understand
And you are ready to give me a hand
As I muddle muddle on
Muddle muddle on

Gone fishing
While the good ones get fulfilled
And their loved ones look on thrilled
I sit alone
Still fishing
Still staring hard into the deep
Though it seems I’m fast asleep
I’m still my own

Gone fishing
And you’re here right by my side
And together watch the tide
Go to and fro
Gone fishing
While our lives are passing by
And we’ll be here till we die
You always know
I love you so
