A Fisherman Plays Out His Line

A bird on a wire
A dog on a chain
The world on a string

She had me wrapped around her finger,
But to her I didn't mean a thing

The buzz of a bumble
The sniff of a flower
The sting of a bee

She had me wrapped around her finger
The sound of birdsong coming from a tree

We were two of a kind
But I had to stray
I angered the queen
And with a royal flush
It all went away

A fisherman plays out his line
On the most sunny day
He uses anything he can for bait
As long as she can't get away

But the lines become tangled
She had me wrapped around her finger
Now she's the one that got away
To say I'm disappointed and broken hearted,
It's all quite cliche'
