The Coral Castle lyrics

Late one night I had a notionAn epiphany would be a better wordSo I stumbled in the dark down to the oceanAnd I pulled my broken heart out of the surfI had told her I did not have much to offerAnd I had told her I would treat her like a queenBut I guess I wasn't worth what I would cost herSo the night has brought me to this coral reefSo down to the water I will comeTo raise for her this castle with my handsAnd steal away before the morning comesCause I don't need her love to love her all I canSo night on night and year on yearWell, I worked until my hands no longer bledAnd I let the ocean bear away my tearsSo that she would know that I could love her bestAnd a desert's just a sea without a shoreAnd a lonely man at worst is still a manAnd I ain't gonna cry for her no moreCause I don't need her love to love her all I canI often dreamed I saw her face among the peopleWho'd come to see the coral fortress I had builtBut it may as well have been another seagullAnd the castle is there wa
iting for her stillSo down to the water I will comeTo wander through this castle on the sandAnd steal away before the morning sunCause I don't need her love to love her all I canI don't need her love to love her all I can
