Lyrics:
- I wish I was a fisherman
- Tumblin' on the seas
- Far away from dry land
- And it's bitter memories
- Casting out my sweet line
- With abandonment and love
- No ceiling bearin' down on me
- Save the starry sky above
- A light in my head
- You in my arms
- Woohoo!
- A light in my head
- You in my arms
- Woohoo!
- I wish I was the brakeman
- On a hurtlin' fevered train
- Crashing headlong into the heartland
- Like a cannon in the rain
- With the beating of the sleepers
- And the burnin' of the coal
- Crashing headlong into the heartland
- On a night that's full of soul
- A light in my head
- You in my arms
- Woohoo!
- Light in my head
- You in my arms
- Woohoo!
- Well I know I will be loosened
- From bonds that hold me fast
- The chains all around me
- Gonna fall away at last
- And on that fine and fateful day
- I will take thee in my arms
- I will ride on the train
- I will be the fisherman
- With light in my head
- You in my arms
- Woohoo!
- Light in my head
- You in my arms
- Woohoo!
