Fishing Tales

Music and Lyrics by Alastair Moock ©2007 Moockshake Music

Hello little man can you tell me who I am
I’ve been waiting all my life to touch your little hand
The twinkle in your eyes I haven’t seen
The twinkle in your father’s eye emerging on the scene

Will you look a lot like me
If you do don’t make a scene and cry
It’s alright I got by you can do the same

Hello little boy or could you be a girl
A fumbler’s little princess an oyster’s little pearl
You push your head out I pull mine in
And look over my shoulder at the person who I’ve been

It won’t be long before we meet
I’m gonna grab your little feet it’s bittersweet
To feel the whole world turning under me

Oh don’t be too slow
I’m standing here holding in my breath
Oh don’t be too fast
You’ve got time and we’ll both need our rest

A cloud of smoke and there you’ll be
Avatar of beauty come to be
Heaven makes an angel just for me

Hello my old friend I guess I left you to the end
You and I have lived a life I’d gladly live again
And now we’re jumping blind into the rush
A little step for mankind but a great big leap for us

Ah the miracle of life
My fertile little wife
I guess it worked this time
It took a while but practicing was fun

Oh don’t be too slow
We’re standing here holding in our breath
Oh don’t be too fast
You’ve got time and we’ll all need our rest
