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' '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. A Common Tern, a Common Tern. A Common Tern, it's a Common Tern. It's a Common Tern. 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. It's a Common Tern. 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. A Common Tern, it's a Common Tern. A Common Tern, it's a Common Tern. It's a Common Tern. 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
