lyrics

There's a place on the banks of the Skeena
Where I love to spend my day
Amongst the driftwood piles
where the sand is soft and grey
And I set my rod
and I sink into my reverie
The snap of the line brings me back into reality

Hook line and sinker
I'm caught up in this dream
I'm alive, awake and I breathe
Knee deep in water
I don't ever want to leave
It might end tomorrow
We could all move along
Until then I am standing firm
Against this current flowing strong
Empty hands, broken heart, open arms

Some called you a fishing widow
Me an optimistic fool
That someday I might change
And give up on these tools
But I cast out lines and reel them in
Then I cast them out again
Get snagged on a life that never should have been

One of these days
I'm gonna land that big one
And everyone will gather round and sing along
Until then I'm gonna soak my soul
Feel the tug of the line as I surrender to the flow

Hook line and sinker
I'm caught up in this dream
I'm alive, awake and I breathe
Knee deep in water
I don't ever want to leave
It might end tomorrow
We could all move along
Until then I am standing firm
against this current flowing strong
Empty hands, broken heart, open arms
