Tennis - Marathon lyrics

rate me

Coconut Grove

is a very small cove

separated from the sea

by a shifting shoal.

We didn't realize that

we had arrived

at high tide, high tide,

barely made it out alive, oh.

Red over white,

fishermen working at night.

Not even once,

did we see a light.

We didn't realize

the forecast had been revised

by moonless skies and

shifty wind that gusts and dies, oh

on the sand our keel is heaving,

but tonight we've got to be leaving.

Travel through the day and into the evening.

Oh, oh woah oh, oh oh woah oh

Marathon how long we've been gone,

and still not yet set foot upon you.

Marathon how long we've been gone,

and still not yet set foot upon you.

Your low lying shore opens welcomingly

to one who's spent the night at sea.

Adrift in the shallows, a modest repose

adorn with coral, your bright colors show,

ushered in through a bridge that is never closed.

Oh, oh woah oh, oh oh woah oh
