lyrics

Fish

A fish with colours that dance in the painter’s eye
Saw a fish with patterns that make the dressmaker sigh
This fish, been swimming along, alongside of me
This fish … it turned and, gazing quizzically,
Said, ‘This is my tail, these are my fins
Just doin' the best, the best that I can’

‘Tell me what you’re lookin' at
Tell me what you’re lookin'
Ain't no secret mystery
I’m just a fish’

Met a woman with a welcoming laugh and a twinkling eye
A woman with a generous heart but I don’t know why
This woman, been living along, alongside of me
This woman … one day she turned and, gazing quizzically,
Said, ‘This is my heart, these are my hands
Just doin' the best, the best that I can’

‘Tell me what you’re lookin' at
Tell me what you’re lookin' for
Ain't no secret mystery
I’m just a woman’

But I know
She’s a fish

In these songs and stories you'll find some extraordinary snapshots from an ordinary life. ... more
