Cremation (Ashes to Ashes)

Cremation (Ashes to Ashes) - Lou Reed

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 tornado's come the coast they run

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

Or will they sink absorbed forever

Will the Atlantic Coast have it's 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 we will be waiting
