Sweet Elizabeth walks down to the dock Searching for the boat her husband's crewing on Storm warnings have come out, she heard them on the radio She's a little worried he might not make it home. Elizabeth is a fisherman's wife, she loves the life she leads Waking in the morning to the sunrise on the sea. And though she sometimes worries, when she left alone He never sees it in her eyes when he's around home. Sarah turns a potter wheel, she loves the feel of clay It helps to ease the loneliness when her mans away When she sees Elizabeth she reaches out her hand Sharing her concern and strength for she understands. Sarah is a fisherman's wife, she loves the life she leads Dancing in the moonlight to the rhythm of the sea And Sarah shares her husband's dream, truly she believes When he tells her one good season more is all he needs. Joni sells T - shirts to tourist by the sea She has made a new design that she's showing me We talk about the weather, her blue eyes turn to steel There is no need for words I know how she feels. Joni and I are fishermen's wives, we love the life we lead Working, living, and depending on the sea And though our man our crazy, we love them just the same The lives and loves we chosen we would never want to change. Fishermen Fishermen's wives Whoa, fishing for life. |
