Codine lyrics

Artist  : Donovan 
Song : Codine



 Send "Codine" Ringtone to your Cell 

 An' my belly is craving, I got shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead
If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long
time
For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
When I was a young man I learned not to care
Wild whiskey, confronted I often did swear
My mother and father said whiskey is a curse
But the fate of their baby is many times worse
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about man
Try it just once, an' you'll try it again
It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you
think
That I'm a-living my life with abandon to drink
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
Stay away from the cities, stay away from the
towns
Stay away from the men pushin' the codine around
Stay away from the stores where the remedy is
found
I will live a few days as a slave to codine
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
An' my belly is craving, I've got a shakin' in my
head
An' I've started heating whether my body said
Steady yourself with the grains of cocaine
An' you'll end dead or you'll end up insane
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
An' my belly is craving, I got shaking in my head
I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead
If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long
time
For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
Tangerine Eyes
Please darling Tangerine Eyes sing a song for me,
One that I can hear all the day.
Oh and please darling Tangerine Eyes kiss my hand
at dawn
By the bright and yellow corn of your hair.
Like a picture of the golden sunset you can make
it real,
You know just how I feel all the time.
So please darling Tangerine Eyes whisper to the
wind
We'll leave the rain behind and walk away.
We walk along the lonesome shoreline listening to
the sea,
Talking to you and me about the sky
And we know even as we walk that way before the
dawn
Our footsteps will be gone far away.
The seagulls ride the winds for you, can't you
hear them cry,
Can't you hear them sigh out your name?
Oh please darling Tangerine Eyes sing a song for
me
One that I can hear
So I feel alright
In the big start studded night of my dreams.
