Weather and Water Songtext
von The Greencards

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 yeild 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, brought me to my knees,
to my knees.


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

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
