Can somebody tell me why I can't tread water Even though I live in the sea. And could you not mention that guy with one leg Who swims a lot faster than me. While others are floating and carrying waves I am still far from the shore. So I stop, and I breathe in the salt water, And I lay on the kind ocean floor.

Treading Water
Can somebody tell me why I can't tread water Even though I live in the sea. And could you not mention that guy with one leg Who swims a lot faster than me. While others are floating and carrying waves I am still far from the shore. So I stop, and I breathe in the salt water, And I lay on the kind ocean floor.
