Ocean Lyrics

Performed by Velvet Underground

Here comes the ocean
and the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
and the waves where have they been

Silver and black lit night, here's to a stealer's night
an empty splendid castle
Glowering alone at night, the princess has had a fight
madness seeks out a lover

And here come the waves
down by the shore
Washing the soul of the body
that comes from the depth of the sea

Here comes the ocean
and the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
and the waves where have they been

Don't swim tonight my love, the tide is out my love
Malcolm's curse haunts our family
Odious loud and rich, ruler of filthy seas
revel in heaven's justice

And here come the waves
and save for a scream
There's much like a song to be heard
in the wind that blows by the sea
Like the wind

Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves

one of the greatest... | Reviewer: Lou Reed Fan | 10/8/10

This has to be one of my all-time-fav's from The VU. Lou Reed's vocals are simply haunting, and considering the time period that "Loaded" came out, it really is a mind blowing album, and Ocean is definetly, in my own personal opinion, one of the better songs that they have produced. Anyone new to the Velvet Underground, you must check this song out, and if I may suggest, "Sweet Jane" also happens to be a favourite of mine.

The version from 'Loaded' | Reviewer: DJW | 10/31/08

Lou Reed sing/talks the lyrics to a classic and very cool arrangement. Personally this is the ultimate version of this song, Reeds intimate and mythic vocals outline the story of 'the ocean' inspiring all kinds of ancient imagery in the listener, the music really does wash back and forth like tides. Still way ahead of the times, then and now. You will discover new things to like about this every time you listen to it.
