DONOVAN - CODINE Lyrics

An' my belly is craving, I got shakin' in my headI feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were deadIf I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long timeFor I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codineAn' it's real, an' it's real, one more timeWhen I was a young man I learned not to careWild whiskey, confronted I often did swearMy mother and father said whiskey is a curseBut the fate of their baby is many times worseAn' it's real, an' it's real, one more timeYou'll forget your woman, you'll forget about manTry it just once, an' you'll try it againIt's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you thinkThat I'm a-living my life with abandon to drinkAn' it's real, an' it's real, one more timeStay away from the cities, stay away from the townsStay away from the men pushin' the codine aroundStay away from the stores where the remedy is foundI will live a few days as a slave to codineAn' it's real, an' it's real, one more timeAn' my belly is craving, I've got a shakin' in my headAn' I've started heating whether my body saidSteady yourself with the grains of cocaineAn' you'll end dead or you'll end up insaneAn' it's real, an' it's real, one more timeAn' my belly is craving, I got shaking in my headI feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were deadIf I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long timeFor I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codineAn' it's real, an' it's real, one more timeAn' it's real, an' it's real, one more timeTangerine EyesPlease 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 dawnBy 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 windWe'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 skyAnd we know even as we walk that way before the dawnOur 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 meOne that I can hearSo I feel alrightIn the big start studded night of my dreams
