Black Perch Sun Kil Moon

Sitting down with my line in the water
Sun in my face in Snug Harbour
With you and your brother, and his wife and their son and their daughter
Out here in Snug Harbour
Pulling in the stingrays, pulling in the sand sharks
Pulling in croakers and black perch
Out here I feel calm, and the view is grand
Out here with my feet in the sand

Today I’m out fishing while you’re at work
Tonight for dinner I’m gonna cook us some black perch
And when I eat fresh fish pulled from the sea
I go to bed at night at peace with you beside me, and my day is complete

Sitting in the sand, lying in the water
Talking to my father, talking to my sister
On my phone, and we reminisce
My right ear ringing with tinnitus
From the many years of recording and travel
I go to bed and while I unravel, I think
Yeah, sure, for now there’s no work
But having no work has its perks

I get to talk to my family everyday
And every night I get to see your lovely face
And in the morning, I awake to the sound of birds
And I think of daily affirmations and positive words
