G D A G

Well the cold black sea, waits for me me me

G D A

The cold black sea waits forever

G D A G

The waves hit the shore crying more more more

G D A

The cold black sea waits forever

The tornadoes come up the coast they run

Hurricanes rip the sky forever

Though the weather's changed the sea remains the same

The cold black sea waits forever

There are ashes spilt to collective guilt

People rest at sea forever

Since they burned you up, collect you in a cup

For you the cold black sea has no terror

Will your ashes float like some foreign boat

Or will they sink absorbed forever

Will the Atlantic coast have its final boast

Nothing else contained you ever

Now the cold black sea waits for me me me

The cold black sea waits forever

When I leave this joint, at some further point

The same cold black sea will it be waiting?

cheers
