A Fish On Land (Lhasa de Sela)

Listen while you read! I had a dream last night A fish on land Gasping for breath Just laughed And sang this song Is life like this for everyone Is life like this for everyone I picked him up He had a human face I carried him To where the water was A grey and still and dusty thing A grey and still and dusty thing I dropped him in And he could breathe again And then he grew And he became a man I knew that I would marry him I knew that I would marry him I had a dream last night A fish on land Gasping for breath Just laughed And sang this song Is life like this for everyone Is life like this for everyone?
