"Oldest Surfer On The Beach" lyrics

"Oldest Surfer On The Beach"

The sun's dropping out of the picture, soon be time to move
It hasn't been a real big day, but I don't have a thing to prove
I've still got the old nose rider, I still surf old style
I'll go out beyond the breakers, sit alone and rest a while

There's nothing that I wanna do
No place I'm trying to reach
Only time is now more precious to
The oldest surfer on the beach

The oldest surfer on the beach

I stopped searching for perfection many waves ago
What really matters is the here and now and that's about all I know
Gonna catch me a big ol' roller, sun setting on the sea
Riding in on her glassy shoulder, the water going gray like me

There's nothing that I wanna do
No place I'm trying to reach
Only time is now more precious to
The oldest surfer on the beach

The oldest surfer on the beach
The oldest surfer on the beach
The oldest surfer on the beach
