I wrote this song down at the pier when my sister visited from England. It lists all the magical things from that evening that she said they don't have in England. Magnolias, fireflies, mudcat (catfish), honeysuckle on the breeze and that warm water. Close your eyes and join us!
Lyrics
Feel The Reel Unwind (Mudcat)
by Fiona McAllister
Am E7 Am Dm
Magnolia moon risin' from the warm black water,
Am E Am
Firefly answers her light.
Honeysuckle breeze keeps the skeeters down,
Barefoot fishing on a Saturday night.
G Dm Am
It's time to feel the reel unwind,
Am E7 Am
It's time to let the line out easy.
Cast your cares, leave them all behind.
It's time to feel the reel unwind.
Nothing but time on the end of my line,
Feel the bait swimming free,
Mudcat sleeping under murky waters,
Come, share a bite with me.
It's time to feel the reel unwind,
It's time to let the line out easy.
Cast your cares, leave them all behind.
It's time to feel the reel unwind.
Dm Am
Only whispers are allowed out here,
E Am
Let's have a quiet end to the day.
Dm Am
The only thing a squeaking is this old pier.
E E E
You know it's great to have nothing to say.
E Am E Am
Sometimes it's great to have nothing to say.
Chorus:
Tag: It’s time to feel, the reel, unwind.
