this song is called the fisherman song off of the new cd (m)orning by mae. i love these lyrics.


tonight i find it hard to sleep each sound and squeak i hear keeps me staring at the ceiling. oh its dark as night outside and i cant stand the quiet that it brings me. and i got too much on my mind i think its time to take a dive and leave it all behind. ive got a song thats half way there i think it needs the ocean air im gonna grab my guitar and get in my car. oh i need some understanding. i need a little love. gonna speed down to the oceanside. in a race with the clouds above. with my guitar in hand i sit down in the sand, i see the sun is coming. courage fill and crack the sky with purple silver and golden light, join the day from night. on the shoreline a fisherman with the bait on his line and a rod in his hand is ready to greet the day he turns around to notice me and the two of us are waiting patiently for the suns rays. i just need some understanding, i need a little love. and somehow i am thinking now i can get what ive been dreaming of. but this fisherman is closing in, i think he could be crazy he says "would you ride with me, i could use the company i have got a fish to catch and you have got a song to sing." his eyes are wide as the boat would sway oh would you like to say you have my attention see cannot hear to write your song but you dont have too long to show me what your working with. i like to give you just a little somethin and you may think its nothin on first listen. it the time it takes for you to make love, you can break love, waste love, and throw it all away. but all you need is faith, and hope will bring a brighter day, and everytime you love, let it lift someone else up. when someone tries to burn you, give him your hand and turn and pick him up when hes all alone. now if you find yourself getting frustrated try not to get too jaded or you could go insane like me. and tell your man you must be crazy your m.o. is lazy when it comes to love if every failure and turning tide i toss the blue moon rays but it never comes back to me. so have some faith you say, and hope will find its way. well i doubt what your sure of and it seems to me, the greatest of these is love. but its so hard to love. we were sitting in his boat with our backs to eachother he was giving me a little time and all that he said was hurting my head, wondering how to leave the selfishess behind. all that i could say is that its so hard to love, the way that you always do. i stepped off the boat and thanked the man not sure what i was thankful for, when i turned back around to see him again he was already gone. walking back from the water to my guitar, thats when the light came on, i knew what he was talking about, i know how to finish my song. Lord i just need some understanding, i need a little love and i want to sing this song to somebody who does what theyre made of. we need some understanding. we all need love.
