A Common Tern Lyrics by Anna B Savage

A Common Turn

2020

[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
