A Common Tern

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On our own little jetty jutting out in the lake As I reached for the fish hook He called my name: 'Look, Anna, it's a common tern' [Verse 2] 'What do you love about me?', I asked him He paused and then said: 'I love how much you love me' I shuddered, maybe I'm done [Pre-Chorus] A common tern A common tern A common tern It's a common tern It's a common tern [Chorus] We watched the common terns fly in Then stop dead, suspended and hung by a thread We held our breath, they hеld their place Then criеd out and dived down It's a common tern [Verse 3] I had a common turn lying in bed next to him I tried to explain I take his hook out from my cheek And place it in his hand [Pre-Chorus] A common tern It's a common tern A common tern It's a common tern It's a common tern [Chorus] We watched the common terns fly in And then stop dead suspended and hung by a thread We held our breath, they held their place Then cried out, and dived down And flew overhead I'm sorry, it's just a common turn
