Steve Smith |
| Nobody heard him the dead man |
| But still he lay moaning: |
| I was much further out than you thought |
| And not waving but drowning |
| Poor chap he always loved larking |
| And now he’s dead |
| It must have been too cold for him, his heart gave way |
| They said |
| Oh, no, no, no, it was always too cold |
| Still the dead one lay moaning |
| I was much too far out all my life |
| And not waving but drowning |
| Oh, no, no, no, it was always too cold |
| Still the dead one lay moaning |
| I was much too far out all my life |
| And not waving but drowning |
| This is taken from the poem 'Not waving but drowning' by Stevie Smith |
