The Velvet Underground "The Ocean" lyrics

Translation to:nl

The Ocean

Here comes the oceanAnd the waves down by the seaHere comes the oceanAnd the waves where have they been

Silver and black lit night, here's to a stealer's nightAn empty splendid castleGlowering alone at night, the princess has had a fightMadness seeks out a lover

And here come the wavesDown by the shoreWashing the soul of the bodyThat comes form the depth of the sea

Here comes the oceanAnd the waves down by the seaHere comes the oceanAnd the waves where have they been

Don't swim tonight my love, the tide is out my loveMalcolm's curse haunts our familyOdious loud and rich, ruler of filthy seasRevel in heaven's justice

And here come the wavesAnd save for a screamThere's much like a song to be heardIn the wind that blows by the seaLike the wind

Here come the wavesHere come the wavesHere come the wavesHere come the waves
