[Intro]
Tom-tom rolling on the sand
Four tenors in the blue-eyed wind
Guitars cry on the tide
And I’m calling you in
[Verse 1]
You came in white denim
With salt on your sleeve
You laughed at the break line
And dared me to believe
My board by the fence post
Your hair in the breeze
One look from your smile
And the whole shore eased
[Chorus]
Surfer Baby, stay with me
Surfer Baby, ride the sea
Oh, Surfer Baby, don’t let go
(oh, don’t let go)
Surfer Baby, take it slow
(oooh, Surfer Baby)
[Verse 2]
We cut through the foam line
When the sky turned gold
Your hand on my shoulder
Was brave and cold
The pier lights blinking
Like a fevered sign
But you kept on grinning
Saying, “This feels right”
[Chorus]
Surfer Baby, stay with me
Surfer Baby, ride the sea
Oh, Surfer Baby, don’t let go
(oh, don’t let go)
Surfer Baby, take it slow
(oooh, Surfer Baby)
[Verse 3]
Now the radio’s fading
In a red station wagon
Your name in the console
My heart still dragging
I still see your shadow
By the tide pool glow
Like a postcard spinning
I can’t let go
[Chorus]
Surfer Baby, stay with me
Surfer Baby, ride the sea
Oh, Surfer Baby, don’t let go
(oh, don’t let go)
Surfer Baby, take it slow
(oooh, Surfer Baby)
[Bridge]
If the night pulls under
I’ll find your wave
Four voices lifting
What the breaker gave
Hold that horizon
Hold my hand
We were made for the water
And the sinking sand
[Outro]
Surfer Baby
Surfer Baby
Surfer Baby
Stay with me
