Sea Diver Lyrics - All The Young Dudes - Mott The Hoople

On morning shadows you were ill-spent 

"It's time", you said, or is it time you went? 

I tried so hard to leave you 

I tried to sleep, the hours you keep 

Oh Lord, I wish I could escape this iron veil 

Ride on my son, ride on my son 

Ride until you fail 

Something comes and something goes 

And something dies before it grows 

And I'm like a sea diver 

Who's lost in space 

("Sweet", said His Grace) 

Oh Lord, I wish I could escape this iron veil 

Ride on my son, right on my son 

Ride until you fail
