[00:-04.00]Mae - The Fisherman Song (We All Need Love) [00:-01.00] [00:00.87]Tonight I find it hard to sleep [00:03.29]Each sound and squeak I hear [00:06.10]Keeps me staring at the ceiling [00:09.19] [00:11.93]Oh it's dark as night outside [00:16.57]And I can't stand [00:18.30]The quiet that it brings me [00:21.04] [00:23.66]And I got too much on my mind [00:26.79]I think it's time to take a drive [00:28.73]And leave it all behind [00:31.52] [00:34.76]I've got a song that's halfway there [00:38.16]I think it needs the ocean air [00:40.11]I'm gonna grab my guitar [00:42.96]And get in my car [00:46.94] [00:48.05]Oh, I need some understanding [00:51.71]I need a little love [00:57.94]Gonna speed down to the Oceanside [01:03.05]In a race with the stars above [01:09.50] [01:27.85]With my guitar in hand [01:30.40]And toes touching the sand [01:32.54]I can see the sun is coming in [01:35.82] [01:38.89]Colors fill and crack the sky [01:41.74]With purple, silver, and golden light [01:45.09]Join the day from night [01:48.61] [01:50.52]On the shoreline a fisherman [01:53.23]With the bait on his line and the rod in his hand [01:56.47]Is ready to greet the day [01:59.48] [02:01.96]He turns around to notice me [02:04.66]And the two of us are patiently [02:07.77]Waiting for the sun's rays [02:12.40] [02:13.77]Oh, I just need some understanding [02:18.59]And a little love [02:24.61]And somehow I am thinking now [02:28.60]I can get what i've been dreaming of [02:35.07] [02:35.96]But this fisherman is closing in [02:39.50]I think he could be crazy [02:42.67]He says, [02:43.50]"Would you ride with me'' [02:46.52]'Oh, I could use the company' [02:49.20]'I got a fish to catch and you have got a song to sing" [02:55.69] [02:59.50]His eyes were anchors as the boat would sway [03:03.45]What would you like to say' [03:04.99]You have my attention [03:07.52]I see you came out here to write your song [03:09.99]But you don't have too long [03:12.63]So show me what you're workin' with [03:14.56] [03:15.23]I'd like to give you just a little somethin' [03:17.57]And you may think it's nothing on first listen [03:20.40]In the time it takes for you to make love [03:23.70]You can break love [03:25.78]Waste love [03:26.54]And throw it all away [03:27.85] [03:28.49]But all you need is faith [03:30.82]And hope will bring a brighter day [03:33.72]And every time that you love [03:36.37]Let it lift someone else up [03:38.98]If someone tries to burn you [03:40.77]Give him your hand and turn and pick him up [03:44.23]When he's all alone [03:45.45]Now if you find yourself getting frustrated [03:47.56]Try not to get too jaded or [03:49.26]You could go insane, like me [03:51.31] [03:52.00]I tell you man you must be crazy [03:54.29]Or am I always lazy when it comes to love' [03:57.56]With every failure and turning tide [04:00.81]I toss the boomerang [04:02.50]But it never comes back to me [04:05.58] [04:06.16]So have some faith you see [04:07.87]And hope will find its way [04:10.61]Well I doubt what you're sure of [04:13.44]And it seems to me the greatest of things is love [04:19.66]But it's so hard to love, love [04:26.28] [04:27.95]We were sitting on his boat [04:29.86]Our backs to each other [04:31.25]He was giving me a little time [04:34.15]And all that he said [04:35.63]Was heard in my head [04:37.08]Wonderin' how to leave the selfishness behind [04:39.91] [04:40.55]All that I could say [04:43.25]Is that it's so hard to love! [04:49.66]The way that you want me to [04:53.59] [06:07.51]I stepped off the boat and thanked the man [06:11.68]Not sure what I was thankful for [06:14.07]When I turned back around to see him again [06:17.63]He was already gone [06:19.23] [06:19.89]Walking back from the water to my guitar [06:22.98]That's when the light came on [06:25.50]I knew what he was talking 'bout [06:28.84]I know how to finish my song [06:32.07] [06:32.53]Oh, I just need some understanding, [06:36.54]I need a little love [06:42.56]And I want to sing this song to somebody [06:47.31]Who does what they're made of' [06:54.20] [06:55.08]Oh, we need some understanding [06:59.53]We all need love!
