Indigo Girls – Fleet Of Hope Lyrics  Share

From Indigo Girls's album: Poseidon And The Bitter Bug

The fisherman comes up
Puts his two poles in the sand
He stares out at the sea
Just exactly like me
But I^,ve got a book in my hand
We will have caught on to something by the end of the day
But mostly we think about the one that got away.

I^,ve seen like a bird
What pleasures the surface can bring
I^,ve lost my best craft
Going foolishly back
To where to Sirens sing
I^,ve stared up at the place where the water meets the sky
And though I stopped breathing I still believe I should try
Maybe a boat in search of lost treasures will pass by.

^,Cause the fleet of hope is so pretty
When she^,s shining in the port
And the harbor clings to the jetty
For protection and support
Out in the choppy waters the sharks swim and play
You^,re all washed up when Poseidon has his day.

I^,ve walked through the desert
Climbed over mountains so high
Through jungles and plains
I took buses and trains
And airplanes across the sky
[ Fleet Of Hope lyrics from

But none as seductive as ocean before me alone
And now I know why
You layered your pockets with stones.

^,Cause the fleet of hope is so pretty
When she^,s shining in the port
And the harbor clings to the jetty
For protection and support
Out in the choppy waters the sharks swim and play
You^,re all washed up when Poseidon has his day.

When I was a girl
All of my fancy took flight
And I had this dream
Could outshine anything
Even the darkest night
Now I wait like a widow for someone to come back from sea
I^,ve always known
I was waiting for me

^,Cause the fleet of hope is so pretty
When she^,s shining in the port
And the harbor clings to the jetty
For protection and support
Out in the choppy waters the sharks swim and play
You^,re all washed up when Poseidon has his day.
