matthew bring in your fishing nets
have you caught yourself a woman
caught yourself a woman yet
sometimes you call me melusine
after the lady of the fountain
in whose lake you took the drink
and boy i know, i know that you burn
for your water spirit
now that know,
i know the lengths that you'd go
to chase the roughest tide
that's right behind me
yes i know, i know the lengths that you'd go
to bring the roughest tide in
smooth like dolphins
ah ha
smooth like dolphins
ah ha
i sought shelter in our child's room
she and me against the world,
safe in our cocoon
you raced a giant roller-skate
and said "the three of us must leave this place
song lines will guide our way"
and boy i know, i know that you burn
for your water spirit
now that i know, i know the lengths that you'd go
to bring the roughest tide
that's right behind me
yes i know, i know the lengths that you'd go
to bring the roughest tide in
smooth like dolphins
ah ha
smooth like dolphins
ah ha
matthew bring in your fishing nets
i have been marked by your gospel
this daughter of a preacher man
‘cause boy i feel, i feel that you burn
for your water spirit
i said that boy, i feel, feel that you burn
for your water girl
now that i know
i know the lengths that you'd go
to bring the tide that's racing
right behind me
yes, i know
i know the lengths that you'd go
to bring the roughest tide in
smooth like dolphins
ah ha
smooth like dolphins
ah ha
