Not Waving, But Drowning Lyrics

[00:00.000]	作词 : Stevie Smith/Jordan Rakei
[00:01.000]	作曲 : Stevie Smith/Jordan Rakei
[00:09.03]	I read about a man getting drowned once
[00:12.43]	His friends thought he was waving to them
[00:14.74]	From the sea but really, he was drowning
[00:17.27]	And then I thought that, in a way, it is true of life too
[00:22.07]	That a lot of people pretend, out of bravery really
[00:25.86]	That they are very jolly and ordinary sort of chaps
[00:28.72]	But really they do not feel at home at all in the world
[00:32.32]	Or able to make friends easily
[00:34.64]	So then they joke a lot and laugh
[00:37.51]	And people think they're quite alright and jolly nice too
[00:40.31]	But sometimes that brave pretense breaks down
[00:44.15]	And then, like the poor man in this poem, they are lost
[00:50.26]	Not waving, but drowning
[00:53.48]
