Tennis - Marathon lyrics
[Tennis - Marathon lyrics]
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
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
On the sand our keel is heaving
But tonight we've got to be leaving
Travel through the day and into the evening
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
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
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
On the sand our keel is heaving
But tonight we've got to be leaving
Travel through the day and into the evening
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
