Fishing in the Dark Lyrics

Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight

    Ultimate feel good song about abandoning the urban undertow, and "just movin' slow."

    Also, I hear "old stump row" instead of, "old stump road" which creates the mental image of a place on the river that once experienced drought and is now lined with cypress tree stumps; a place that only he knows and has escaped to many a'time, anticipating warmer weather when he and his love can revel in quiet contentment away from the hustle and bustle of city life beneath a blanket of stars, counting them one by one while...fishin' in the dark...

    Forever timeless and forever my favorite!
