He stares into her smiling face
Searching deep within her eyes
So much is now an empty place
Lost slowly in this disguise
She graced his life with subtle class
They called his home their own
Memories made to forever last
His mind turns them all to stone.
Chorus
A fisherman once strong and proud
His thoughts were known as wise
A steady voice in any crowd
Lost alone behind those eyes
Toiling a lifetime on the sea
A weathered strong old man
His hands have shaped his destiny
Quietly staring is all that he can
Walls that now confine him
Once defined by none
Sea and sky, and a steady trim
Fading away into the setting sun
A fisherman once strong and proud
His thoughts were known as wise
A steady voice in any crowd
Lost alone behind those eyes
