Fisherman
Casting and waiting
Casting and waiting
Patience is dwindling
Light is fading
And the fish?
Nowhere to be found

Mullet, shrimp, squid, and worm
All the best bait to be found.
The fisherman watches and waits
For the fish to come around

His fancy lures
And brand new hooks
Are talked about in magazines and books
But the fish?
Still nowhere to be found
