lyrics

I wish I’d never thrown my line into that glassy sea
I never would have left the shore had I known what was in store for me
I tied on the biggest fish; I cried out, Oh my Lord
It was a fight I could not win, and I wound up overboard

I thought I could get away from the problems of the land
I would sail out past the break, shake off every demand
But I was wrong to think a man could ever become free
Well, I disturbed the surface, and I woke that scaly beast

Looking back, I have to think that this was no mistake
No accidental wandering, this was my planned escape
Maybe I have told the truth, and I fell in over my head
Or maybe I had lost my youth and jumped off that boat and said...

I tried to flee, but you followed me
In the heart of the sea, you swallowed me
You dragged me down into the deep
And cast me out on solid ground

I woke up with burning cheeks in the middle of the next day
Walked a mile on wicked streets, but I never found my way
My watery prayers were answered, but my deepest dreams had died
Now I expect I’ll never see the Spanish countryside
