Reed, Lou - Cremation (Ashes To Ashes) Lyrics
Well the coal black sea waits for me, me, me
The coal black sea waits forever
The waves hit the shore crying more, more, more
But the coal black sea waits forever
Hurricanes rip the sky forever
Through the weathers change, the sea remains the same
The coal black sea waits forever
There are ashes spilt through collective guilt
People rest at sea forever
Since they burnt you up, collect you in a cup
For you the coal black sea has no terror
Will your ashes float like some foreign boat
Will the Atlantic Coast have its final boast?
Nothing else contained you ever
Now the coal black sea waits for me, me, me
The coal black sea waits forever
When I leave this joint at some further point
The same coal black sea will it be waiting

Reed, Lou Cremation (Ashes To Ashes) Comments
Sorry for going off-topic, but does the riff from this song appear regularly in Friends? Because only one Lou Reed song is credited in the soundtrack, and not this one. Just wondering out of curiosity.
My grandfather is in the hospital right now. His lungs are filled with liquid and his kidneys are failing. It’s up to me and my mother when we take him off oxygen, that is when he will die. It’s up to us. So I’m just sitting here, in a hospital chair watching him sleep listening to Lou. He keeps me strong in the darkness.
me me me - too !
Hurricanes rip the sky forever...
Well the coal black sea waits for me me me
The coal black sea waits forever
The waves hit the shore
Crying more more more
But the coal black sea waits forever
The tornados come
up the coast they run
Hurricanes rip the sky forever
Though the weathers change
The sea remains the same
The coal black sea waits forever
There are ashes spilt through collective guilt
People rest at sea forever
Since they burnt you up
Collect you in a cup
For you, the coal 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 coal black sea waits for me me me
The coal black sea waits forever
When I leave this joint
at some further point
The same coal black sea, will it be waiting?
Makes me think of you dad, though there isn't much that doesn't, this especially does.
You are a genius Lou Reed. Way under appreciated. I feel you, I know you and I love you.
fuck google for jacking my headphones in front of every song
