Drowned - The Who

Album: Quadrophenia

genre: Hard Rock Rock

There are men high up there fishing,
Haven’t seen quite enough of the world,
I ain’t seen a sign of my heroes,
And I’m still diving down for pearls.

Let me flow into the ocean,
Let me get back to the sea.
Let me be stormy and let me be calm,
Let the tide in, and set me free.

I’m flowing under bridges,
Then flying through the sky,
I’m travelling down cold metal
Just a tear in baby’s eye.

Let me flow into the ocean
Let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in, rush over me.

I am not the actor
This can’t be the scene
But I am in the water,
As far as I can see…

I’m remembering distant memories
Recalling other names.
Rippling over canyons,
And boiling in the train.

Let me
