David Knopfler - The Fisherman lyrics

Thinking you've put it all behind you You came looking for your brand new start As though nothing could remind you But you can't betray your helpless heart And now you find it's getting harder You start believing all love's in vain No he never meant to harm you He never meant to cause such pain Oh the fisherman, oh the fisherman Reflections in a pool You came upon her harbour They were laughing singing: "Here comes the fool" But throw your bread upon the waters You may find your nets are full Aye they gathered in the harbour Sang: "Thy will be done" Perhaps they never meant to harm her But they came to take her only son. Oh the fisherman, oh the fisherman Reflections in a pool
