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
