Fishing In The Dark
Nathan Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shinin' thru the trees.
Crickets are singin' and lightning birds
Are floatin on the breeze.
Baby get ready...
Across the field where the creek turns back
by the ole stump road.I'm gonna take you to a special place
that nobody knows.
Baby get ready...
ooo...
You and me going fishing in the dark,
Lying on our backs and counting the stars,
Where the cool grass grows.
Down by the river in the full moon light,
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow...
Stayin' the whole night thru,
feels so good to be with you...
Spring is almost over and the summer's gone
And the days are gettin' long
Waited all winter for the time to be right,
just to take you along
Baby get ready...
It don't matter if we sit forever
and the fish don't bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves
from the heat of the night
Baby get ready...ooo...
You and me going fishing in the dark,
Lying on our backs and counting the stars,
Where the cool grass grows.
Down by the river in the full moon light,
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow...
Stayin' the whole night thru,
feels so good to be with you...
You and me going fishing in the dark,
Lying on our backs and counting the stars,
Where the cool grass grows.
Down by the river in the full moon light,
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow...
Stayin' the whole night thru,
feels so good to be with you...
You and me going fishing in the dark.
The lyrics of "Fishing in the Dark" by Nathan Carter tell a story of a couple who want to spend some quality time together. The lazy yellow moon shines through the trees, while the sound of crickets and lightning birds fills the air. The singer has a special, secret place that he wants to take his lover to, where they can enjoy each other's company, and go fishing.
The second verse sets the scene even further, describing a place by the creek where nobody goes. It's the perfect spot for the couple to spend their time together, and they lie on their backs, counting stars. As they bask in the glow of the full moon, they fall in love in the middle of the night, slowly moving to the rhythm of the breeze.
The lyrics are romantic and idyllic, evoking images of a peaceful and serene place where everything is perfect. The song speaks to the desire for love, intimacy, and the importance of taking time out to appreciate the simple things in life.

Spring is ending and summer is coming, which has longer days. I have been waiting for this season to arrive all winter long. I wanted the right time for us to go fishing together and that time has finally come. You should be ready to join me.
It don't matter if we sit forever
and the fish don't bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves
from the heat of the night
Baby get ready...
Even if we sit forever and we catch no fish, it would not bother us. We can even go into the river water in order to cool ourselves off from the heat of the night. You should be ready for that.
