Carlito Lyrics - Soul, David

Carlito, come and see the fish we caught today
One is bigger than the next
But the biggest got away


Carilto, you will be a fisherman like me,
Spend your life in dreams of towns,
Where no one smells the sea

Carlito watches as the ships go passing by,
So small against the sun
So big their decks are dry


Carlito, can't you see the future where it lies,
It's in the nets you're mending,
And it's in your father's eyes,

Don't be too hard on the man,
He does the best he can,

Carlito, you will be a fisherman like me,
Spend your life in dreams of towns,
Where no one smells the sea


Carlito, come and see the fish we caught today,

Carlito, you will be a fisherman like me,
Spend your life in dreams of towns,
Where no one smells the sea,


Carlito, come and see the fish we caught today,
One is bigger than the next,
But the biggest got away,


Carlito, you will be a fisherman like me,
Carlito, come and see the fish we caught today.
