Surf's Up

The diamond necklace played the pawn Hand in hand some drummed along, oh To a handsome man and baton A blind cla*s aristocracy Back through the opera gla*s you see The pit and the pendulum drawn Columnated ruins domino Hung velvet overtaken me Dim chandelier awaken me To a song dissolved in the dawn The music hall a costly bow The music all is lost for now To a muted trumpeter swan Columnated ruins domino Canva*s the town and brush the backdrop Are you sleeping, brother John? Dove nested towers the hour was Strike the street quicksilver moon Carriage across the fog Two-step to lamp lights cellar tune The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne The gla*s was raised, the fired grows 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, 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
