lyrics

Blistered skins of fishermen
run across a desert,
boats lie tethered on parched earth,
boats lie tethered on parched earth,
Blistered skins of fishermen
run across a desert,
boats lie tethered on parched earth,
boats lie tethered on parched earth,

We have no choice but pray for rain
and dream we’ll find a trickle
leading to a river flowing
leading to a river flowing
We have no choice but pray for rain
and dream we’ll find a trickle
leading to a river flowing
leading to a river flowing

Leading to a river flowing
with more fish than plastic
Leading to a river flowing
with more fish than plastic
We have no choice but pray for rain
and dream we’ll find a trickle
leading to a river flowing
with more fish than plastic

Blistered skins of fishermen
run across a desert,
boats lie tethered on parched earth,
boats lie tethered on parched earth,
