Stephen Stills
Black Coral
[Verse 1]
Have you ever been down deep?
I mean way down under the ocean
Just inside Odin's reach
Better beware of his potion
[Chorus]
And remember you don't belong
It always seems so unfair
The fishes around will always remind you
Got to move slow, take it easy down there
You've only so much air
[Verse 2]
When you get a little deeper
If you slow down, you might keep her
The sea, unforgiving and she's hard
But she'll make love to you
Show you glimpses of the stars
At about two-hundred feet, you realize the peril
But seductive is the deep
That shark over there holds no terror
[Chorus]
For a while you really belong
The ocean will always share
You become one like friends and lovers
So remember take care
She'll try to keep you there
[Verse 3]
The deeper you go
'Cause of the pressure of the air
Nitrogen comes and goes, gets you high
It's an alien atmosphere
They call it rapture of the deep
But you're not afraid
You're too far down now to be scared
Two hundred eighty seven feet
I saw Jesus and it made sense that He was there
[Chorus]
So belong or don't belong
There's plenty of ocean to share
Please take heed, there's mouths to feed
The ocean should provide
Don't take more than you need
'Cause heaven just might be the sea
