The Coral Castle Andrew Peterson

[Verse 1]
Late one night I had a notion
An epiphany would be a better word
So I stumbled in the dark down to the ocean
And I pulled my broken heart out of the surf

[Verse 2]
I had told her I did not have much to offer
And I had told her I would treat her like a queen
But I guess I wasn't worth what I would cost her
So the night has brought me to this coral reef

[Chorus 1]
So down to the water I will come
To raise for her this castle with my hands
And steal away before the morning sun
'Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can, no no

[Verse 3]
So night on night and year on year
Well, I worked until my hands no longer bled
And I let the ocean bear away my tears
So that she would know that I could love her best

[Chorus 2]
And a desert's just a sea without a shore
And a lonely man, at worst, is still a man
And I ain't gonna cry for her no more
'Cause I don't need her love to love her all I can, no no
