Just Like A Hook

Before you were here
I used to walk around the lake
For goodness' sake
I used to shake it off and foresake it off
But I just couldn't shake all the salt from the sea

Landlocked in time and space
I just could not seem to escape
And drifting away I was barely awake
I was lost in a dream

But the time she finally took
It hurt me just like a hook
I'm a fish thrown back to the sea

Climbing back down from the waterline low
I saw the the stars indisposed like the night
That we climbed up the river rocks slow
"Given To Fly" and with your "Heart Of Gold"
We sang the songs of our soul
As you slept in my arms while the riverbed rose

But the time she finally took
It hurt me just like a hook
I'm a fish thrown back to the sea

I'm a fish thrown back to the sea
A Dream of Life comes to me
A Dream of Life comes to me
A Dream of Life comes back to me

These days I think of the rocks and the trees
There's a fire on top of the mountain it seems
And it's burning now but we're learning how
To cut through the woods to shelter we need

The ocean is scarred but the healing is said
To wash away all of the lives that we led
On the river bed and the Golden Lake
Cause we're building a boat
And it's never too late

But the time she finally took
It hurt me just like a hook
It hurt me just like a hook
I'm a fish thrown back to the sea
A Dream of Life comes to me
