Weather and Water Lyrics

Well we set off for Stephenshelf sailin' out to sea
My brand new wife, my lover blowin' kisses out to me
I couldn't make no livin' on the mainland layin' tile
So I thought I'd try my hand at fishin' for a while
Well we were pullin' full nets the yield it sure was high
Those silver skins were shinin', made everybody smile
My heart was growin' heavy the first time out to sea
She didn't move like the mainland, bought me to my knees, to my knees

CH:
Now I'm out here, in the weather and the water
Callin' mercy to the sea
Well I'd rather be a poor boy with a beautiful wife
Than out here in the weather and the water tonight, I'll surely die tonight
Well I hear "em tell my story, I hear "em late at night
Old fishermen and deckhands unpitied by their luck
I'm stuck out on the ocean, I'm tied down to the sea
The Weather and the water, it's just the two and me, two and me
CH:
Now I'm out here, in the weather and the water
Callin' mercy to the sea
Well I'd rather be a poor boy with a beautiful wife
Than out here in the weather and the water tonight, I'll surely die tonight
Now I'm out here, in the weather and the water
Callin' mercy to the sea
Well I'd rather be a poor boy with a beautiful wife
Than out here in the weather and the water tonight, I'll surely die tonight
