About

Like many of Carly Simon’s works, this song documents a failed romance.

The similarities stop here: set in a indistinct time and place, the lyrics take the form of a ballad, and deftly avoids the recriminations and the drama that usually surround such affairs (as well as the affairs that usually su...

Fisherman’s Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a pine forest cooler than the rest of the island
Lives a young fisherman with eyes like the sea
He built his own boat and made his own cabin
But he's broken the hearts of the likes of me

[Verse 2]
Now you must understand, he made me a promise
There were secrets we shared, we planted a tree
We lived in his cabin, I fished alongside of him
I fell under the spell of his sorcery

[Verse 3]
When he cast me adrift at the end of the summer
It was not for another, but his own privacy
I fell apart like a rose, but the scent of my longing
Remains and it weeps like an old willow tree

[Verse 4]
At night when it’s still with the yellow moon rising
When his candle is snuffed and he's deep in a dream
I move like a cat and crawl into his window
And lie down beside him in a golden moon beam

[Verse 5]
The smell of his skin is just like the summer
When our love was as fresh as the grass in the fields
And ever so softly, I’d kiss his eyelids
Before slipping away, my secret concealed

[Verse 6]
Though I'm in it alone, I'm still in it in love
And love can be lonely like a sweet melody
But just maybe he feels me like a whisper inside him
Like an angel beside him keepin’ him company
