I need help finding a poem I heard about waving, and being at sea ... drowning?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Not Waving but Drowning

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 too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.
