[Verse]
Silver scales flash in the dark
Eyes like whispers from a secret spark
Catfish swimming in the quiet tide
Gone too soon the water lied
[Chorus]
Oh Catfish my beautiful my wise
The river took you under blackened skies
Precious friend lost in the undertow
Why'd you leave me I’ll never know
[Verse 2]
Eight years of calm eight years of storms
Your soul was fire in a gentle form
You knew the truths I’ll never find
Now you’re a ripple a ghost in my mind
[Prechorus]
Do you swim where the stars collide
Do you breathe where the currents hide
[Chorus]
Oh Catfish my beautiful my wise
The river took you under blackened skies
Precious friend lost in the undertow
Why'd you leave me I’ll never know
[Bridge]
Fingers reach but the water’s cold
Calling your name but the echoes fold
Every ripple is a memory
Every wave is a part of me
