Ceili Rain - The Fighting Chair lyrics

I was standin on the shoreline Fishin' pole gettin' heavy in my hand As usual catchin' nothin' the story of my life, the story of the man Then some geezer in a schooner Said son "Take a look at the sky Still time to get out where the fish are Still time to find the gleam in your eye You wanna catch a big one, you wanna be a hero You'll never get nothin' standin' over there So strap yourself in and we'll sail away deep You only reel 'em in from the fighting chair" It felt scary, kinda crazy, like things usually feel to me But it got me thinking I'm standin' On the shoreline everytime there's somewhere to be So I jumped up on his schooner He strapped me in, put the pole in my hand He said "Twilight is gonna get your head right You're gonna feel clean, you're gonna make a stand You wanna catch a big one, you wanna be a hero You'll never get nothin' standin' over there So strap yourself in and we'll sail away deep You only reel 'em in from the fighting chair" I felt somethin', somethin'- I started tuggin', tuggin' Said "Brother, this is it, the only way you beat me is if I up and quit!" Well I ain't quit- well, not yet In my daydream, I drop my line in, they all swim by laughin' in my face But I believe if I snag that one big fish it'll make the vision go away We all have one good catch in us, one sweet day, one perfect moonlight Gonna sail out into the wind and I'll taste the salt water on my face tonight You wanna catch a big one, you wanna be a hero You'll never get nothin' standin' over there So strap yourself in and we'll sail away deep You only reel 'em in from the fighting chair Wanna find love, wanna find home Lookin' for peace, lookin' everywhere The way to peace is a dang hard struggle Strap yourself in to the fighting chair I'm gonna make my own peace with the fighting chair
