Lou Reed (March 2, 1942 - October 27, 2013) was an American rock artist originally from Brooklyn, New York, USA. Especially while a member of the The Velvet Underground in the 1960s, Reed broke new ground for the rock genre in several important dimensions, introducing more mature and intellectual themes to what was then considered a largely simplistic genre of music.
In 1964 Reed moved to New York City and began working as an in-house songwriter for Pickwick Records.

GDAG Well the cold black sea, waits for me me me
GDA The cold black sea waits forever
GDAG The waves hit the shore crying more more more
GDA The cold black sea waits forever
The tornadoes come up the coast they run Hurricanes rip the sky forever Though the weather's changed the sea remains the same The cold black sea waits forever
There are ashes spilt to collective guilt People rest at sea forever Since they burned you up, collect you in a cup For you the cold black sea has no terror
Will your ashes float like some foreign boat Or will they sink absorbed forever Will the Atlantic coast have its final boast Nothing else contained you ever
Now the cold black sea waits for me me me The cold black sea waits forever When I leave this joint, at some further point The same cold black sea will it be waiting?
