M. Ward - Fisher of Men lyrics

He tied a feather to the hook for to get you to look And by the time you know what took you, you already took He's got a line in the water He's a fisher of men He put the thorns on the rose for to get you to bleed And by the time you know what stuck you, the pain's in deep He's got a line in the water He's a fisher of men He's got a lot on the line He's a fisher of men He's a fisher of men He's wise as a prize fighter He's like a soul miner Mining souls on down the great divide Oh, the fisher of men Fisher of men He's got a lot on the line He put his name in my verses and his name in the hook Before I knew what I was cooking, it was already cooked He's got a line in the water He's a fisher of men And he put his name in my chorus like the dark before the dawn So that in my hour of weakness, I'd remember it's his song He's got a line in the water He's a fisher of men He's got a lot on the line He's a fisher of men He's a fisher of men He's wise as a prize fighter He's like a soul miner Mining souls on down the great divide Always a fisher of men Fisher of men He's got a lot on the line
