lyrics

When it was warm enough
I cast out for the brown trout
I came all the way out of the bay
I took my shirt off, I felt the sun sauce
I heard the sail flap, I saw the waves cap
I let the rope out, I came about

When the work is done
When the light is gone
Then you can come home

When I began this, I ran a fast ship
Top of the water, I barely scratched it
But each empty day, I took on the weight
I lost the wide eye, I lost the wide sky
I took a last run in the last of the sun
I ain't winding the line in until I find it

When the work is done,
When the light is gone.
Then you can come home.

The wind changed, the rain came.
It took me over into the water
The mast went into the black depth
I felt the rough touch of the muskelunge
I moved toward the centerboard
One body is not enough to get this boat up

When the work is done
When the light is gone
Then you can come home
