There are men high up there fishing,
  Haven't seen quite enough of the world,
  I ain't seen a sign of my heroes,
  And I'm still diving down for pearls.
    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, and set me free.
    I'm flowing under bridges,
  Then flying through the sky,
  I'm travelling down cold metal
  Just a tear in 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, rush over me.
    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,
  And boiling in the train.
    Let me [etc.]
