Drowned Lyrics by Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend’s Classic Quadrophenia

2015

There are men high up there fishing
Haven't seen quite enough of the world
I ain't seen a sign of my hero
And I'm still diving down for pearls
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
I want it to rush over me

I'm flowing under bridges
Then flying through the sky
I'm traveling down cold metal
Just a tear in a 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
I want it to rush over me

I wanna drown,etc

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
I'm boiling in the train
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
I want it to rush over me

I wanna drown in your sweet sweet love,etc
