lyrics

a stillness touched his cheek caressing gently and discrete
untroubled by devotion
as quietening rhythms of the moon pulled the fathoms fro and to
with siren’s charm’s seduction

yet the business of their consort isn't wishing
for more than he can catch night fishing
night fishing

the words that he had found to say were lost between the interplay
of light upon the water
those countless laughing eyes of sprites’ undinal starry guise
were beckoning like daughters

yet the business of their consort isn't wishing
for more than he can catch night fishing
night fishing

sweet songs from hidden shores echo their eternal calls
voracious the compulsion
of lullabies’ enchantment which the heart of man too rare resists
a hunger of corruption

when wonder turns to terror in the deep
whose beautiful confusions
tease with sensual delusion

yet the business of their consort isn't wishing
for more than he can catch night fishing
night fishing

an instant stretches to the stars who witness the crescendo calm
as fate fractures the deceiving
“the quality of this man’s love far outweighs snares of tumescent rush”
thus judged the unsated nymphs flee screaming

yet the business of their consort isn't wishing
for more than he can catch night fishing
night fishing

night fishing
night fishing
