about

The Coral Thief was inspired by Rebecca Stott’s novel The Coral Thief, and was written for Theft Night at Mr B’s on the 20th April 2011.

lyrics

The Coral Thief

There was an ocean over this town many years ago
The signs are there if I can find them, as the corals show
I’m not here in the street but walking by the shore
I cast shadows on the walls but ripples on the floor

Just close your eyes

When the sea was high
In it’s time
The coral grew
Nearby
When you saw blue
You saw all this too
Though it hides
From view

This cave is far down
I’ve made it my own
A place to lie down
You’ll stay, we’re fine now

There was a line of many soldiers breaking up the stone
They were taking back the horses, watching them go home
They say the town is always changing, but if they read the signs
They’d know the coral is just waiting for the oceans rise

Dont close your eyes

When the moon was high
We stole in the night
And voices grew
Nearby
So I ran too
Where the coral grew
So I might rise
With you

Their cave is far down
I’ve made it my home
A place to lie down
Don’t stay, I’m fine now
Don’t stay, I’m fine now
Don’t stay, I’m fine now
