Stephen Stills - Black Coral lyrics

by Stephen Stills

© 1976 Gold Hill Music

Have ever been down deep?

I mean way down

Under the ocean

Just inside though news reef

Better beware of his potion

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

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

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

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

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
