lyrics

DRIED FISH

Mr. Man is wondering how will the weather be?
Time to take the boat out and go out to sea

Mr. Man remembers clearly things that happened long ago
Hard times in his boyhood, unemployment as a man
Then one day he went to sea
To see the world and feel the spray
He had a wife and lost her, somewhere along the way

Many years he travelled throughout all the continents
Stopping off to satisfy his hunger, thirst and lust
He filled his trunk with souvenirs
He filled his head with memories
He left his heart in many ports
But his soul lay empty and cold

Man is standing in front of his little house
Seagulls soaring overhead, rows of dried fish at his feet
Rows of dried fish at his feet
Dried fish, dried fish
Stocking up for the winter, stocking up for the future

Take me out to sea, take me where the fish are jumping
Take me out to sea, take me where the waves are rolling

Rolling, roaring, crashing on the rocks
Foaming, splashing, dashing on the rocks

The yearning soul in her voice comes from her Irish folk roots (Boreen) but the warm velvet overtones arise from her jazz diva alter ego. (Jane O'Brien and Band, S.T.A.R.) ... more
