Testo The Angler - Gary Brooker
Testo della canzone The Angler (Gary Brooker), tratta dall'album Lead Me To The Water
The search is over, the battle done
The fish is beat up, the angler's won
But simple stories make longer tales
No consolation if he had failed
Through wind and desert, blackberry hole
Coyote and rattler have made him old
No, it ain't easy, it's on the borderline
Between health and madness, the way he bides his time
Finn to fin, every logjam
This is where they lie
The Deschutes is hot, the bottom's black
They're eye to eye, my oh my
What fun to be on your own
Down foaming rapids into the deep black hole
Through thorns and rock slides for to reach his goal
And golden chances, he let them slip away
Or was he waiting for the Judgement Day
They reel and nail him on the dead line
This is where they lie
Where the water's fast, the current's strong
They're eye to eye, my oh my
What fun to be on your own
They reel and nail him on the dead line
This is where they lie
Where the water's fast, the current's strong
They're eye to eye, my oh my
What fun to be on your own
But on the thirteenth morning when the sun was high
He tricked that steelhead and saw the line go tight
Two spirits fighting, two creatures bold
Had luck and trouble, they finally lost their hold
Finn to fin, in every logjam
This is where they lie
The Deschutes is hot, the bottom's black
They're eye to eye, I see why
He spends his time on his own
They reel and nail him on the dead line
This is where they lie
Where the water's fast, the current's strong
They're eye to eye, my oh my
What fun to be on your own
