M. Ward - Fisher of Men lyrics

He tied a feather to the hook
For to get you to look
And by the time you know what took you
You already took
He's got a line in the water
He's a fisher of men

And he put the thorns on the rose
For to get you to bleed
And by the time you know what stuck you
The pain's in deep
He's got a line in the water
He's a fisher of men
He's got a lot on the line
He's a fisher of men

He's a fisher of men
He's as wise as a prize fighter
He's like a soul miner
Mining souls on down the great divide
Oh, the fisher of men fisher of men
He's got a lot on the line

And he put his name in my verses
And his name in the hook
Before I knew what I was cooking
It was already cooked
He's got a line in the water
He's a fisher of men

And he put his name in my chorus
In the dark before the dawn
So that in my hour of weakness
I'd remember it's his song
He's got a line in the water
He's a fisher of men
He's got a lot on the line
He's a fisher of men

He's a fisher of men
He's as wise as a prize fighter
He's like a soul miner
Mining souls on down the great divide
Always a fisher of men fisher of men
He's got a lot on the line
