I wish I was a fisherman tumblin’ on the seas

Friday, August 18th, 2006

I just watched Waking Ned Devine again and was reminded that this music leads the movie.

“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 ’cept the starry sky above.”

Song: Fishermans Blues

Artist: Waterboys

Album: Fishermans Blues

Year:1988
