aoife o'donovan - elephant rock lyrics
[verse]
november morn
the palettes moved on
only color left is gray
i’m in the corn
trynna keep warm
had this fire going for days
[verse 2]
the lighthouse rotted
a rich man bought it
n-body keeps lookout these days
on quicksand point
i roll a joint
i flick the match into atlantic waves
[chorus]
gotta get back to elephant rock
climb o’er the pebbles in my socks just to see
if you’re on your way back to me
[verse 3]
a ship’s coming in
what will it bring
is it laden with pearls and rubies?
are you on it
do you wanna spend
every day left with me
[verse 4]
and oh, it’s been a while, and
you have traveled many miles while
i’ve been down my share of trials and troubles in the ocean
[chorus]
do you wanna go back to elephant rock
do you wanna climb o’er the pebbles in my (our) socks just to see
if the moon’s where it oughta be
[verse 5]
i’m impatient
i can’t take it
i br–ststroke on out to the boat
oh, i may go deep
no i’m up to my knees
and quicksand is filling my throat
[verse 6]
and oh, the tide is rising high
i gotta keep my eyes fixed on
the horizon faded into ocean
[verse 7]
so throw me a piece of driftwood
a rope would be just as good
[?] sand where i stand sinking to the ocean
[chorus]
back elephant rock
climb o’er the pebbles in my socks just to see
if you’d hold hands and jump with me
