Ocean (Session Outtake) - The Velvet Underground

Here comes the ocean

And the waves down by the sea

Here comes the ocean

And the waves where have they been

Silver and black lit night, here’s to a stealer’s night

An empty splendid castle

Glowering alone at night, the princess has had a fight

Madness seeks out a lover

And here come the waves

Down by the shore

Washing the soul of the body

That comes form the depth of the sea

Here comes the ocean

And the waves down by the sea

Here comes the ocean

And the waves where have they been

Don’t swim tonight my love, the tide is out my love

Malcolm’s curse haunts our family

Odious loud and rich, ruler of filthy seas

Revel in heaven’s justice

And here come the waves

And save for a scream

There’s much like a song to be heard

In the wind that blows by the sea

Like the wind

Here come the waves

Here come the waves

Here come the waves

Here come the waves
