The Pedestrian and the Sea


You've been so good to me.
You've been so good to all of us.
I'd like to see you
But you're so far away.
Two-thirds of the Earth you cover
But I'm not much of a traveler.

I never shoot up.
I only do a line.
I did some on New Year's.
I took it off the machine.
Tetrahydrosaline.
Tetrahydrosaline.

You've been so good to me
So help me with the mystery.
You used to know me
But I drifted away.
I'm not an oceanographer.
I'm not a great philosopher.

I never shoot up.
I only do a line.
I did some on New Year's.
I took it off the machine.
Tetrahydrosaline.

When we met I struggled in your undertow.
You let me walk away.
