Surf's Up - Remastered 2009

A diamond necklace played the pawn

Hand in hand, some drummed along, oh

To a handsome mannered baton

(Bygone, bygone)

A blind class aristocracy

Back through the op'ra glass you see

The pit and the pendulum drawn

(Bygone, bygone)

Columnated ruins domino

Canvas the town and brush the back-drop

Are you sleeping?

Hung velvet overtaken me

Dim chandelier awaken me

To a song dissolved in the dawn

(Bygone, bygone)

The music hall, a costly bow

The music, all is lost for now

To a muted trumpeter swan

(Bygone, bygone)

Columnated ruins domino

Canvas the town and brush the back-drop

Are you sleeping, Brother John?

Dove nested towers, the hour was strike

The street, quicksilver moon

Carriage across the fog

Two-step to lamplight cellar tune

The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne

The glass was raised, the fired-rose

The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting

While at Port, adieu or die

A choke of grief, heart-hardened I

Beyond belief, a broken man too tough to cry

Surf's Up, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

Aboard a tidal wave

Come about hard and join

The young and often spring you gave

I heard the word

Wonderful thing

A children's song

Child, child, child, the child

Father of the man (father of the man)

Child, child, child, the child

Father of the man (father of the man)

A children's song

Have you listened as they play?

Their song is love

And the children know the way

That's why the child, child, the child, child

Father of the man (father of the man)

Child, child, the child

Father of the man (father of the man)

That's why the child, child, the child, child

Father of the man (father of the man)

Child, child, the child

Father of the man (father of the man)
