[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]
