bonnie "prince" billy - coral and tar lyrics

[verse 1]
if i was a pine i would lose tar and shine in the moonlight
moths would all swarm but they do me no harm
and it’s only for you i’d be shining
but i am no pine i’m a man in my prime
and i’m priming

[chorus]
come over
come over
come over
come over
cos it’s been far too long since we saw in the dawn with our lovers

[verse 2]
oh, were i an oak sure i’d creak and i’d croak like a bullfrog
my boughs they would break and fall into the lake
but you know that i’d break for you only
yeah i am no oak i am a man in the smoke
and i’m lonely

come over
come over
come over
come ovеr
cos it’s been far too long since we saw in the dawn with our lovers

[verse 3]
well i took to the drink as if seeking a bog to be mired in
to join with the pine and join with the oak in their blood oath to choke up the garden
to harden the earth against any rebirth
to crowd out the fennel and sorrow
to keep the moon’s beams from embroiling your dreams
and making the terry place coral

[interlude]
so join me in in coral
and join me in tar
come over
come over
come over
come over
cos it’s been far too long since we saw in the dawn with our lovers
