The Coral Castle

歌曲歌詞

Late one night I had a notion

An epiphany would be a better word

So I stumbled in the dark down to the ocean

And I pulled my broken heart out of the surf

I had told her I did not have much to offer

And I had told her I would treat her like a queen

But I guess I wasn't worth what I would cost her

So the night has brought me to this coral reef

So down to the water I will come

To raise for her this castle with my hands

And steal away before the morning comes

'Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can

No no

So night on night and year on hear

Well I worked until my hands no longer bled

And I let the ocean bear away my tears

So that she would know that I could love her best

And a desert's just a sea without a shore

And a lonely man at worst is still a man

And I ain't gonna cry for her no more

'Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can

No no

I often dreamed I saw her face among the people

Who'd come to see the coral fortress I had built

But it may as well have been another seagull

And the castle is there waiting for her still
