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

[repeat intro]
I'm flowing under bridges
Then flying through the sky
I'm traveling down cold metal
Just a tear in a baby's eye
Oh, let me flow into the ocean
Oh, let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in and set me free
Set me free

*trill the 5/6
[repeat intro]
Ooh, I'm remembering distant memories
Recalling other names
Rippling over canyons
And boiling in the train
Oh, 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
Set me free
Set me free
I wanna drown in cold water
