Surf's Up

A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along oh
To a handsome man and baton my God my God
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn my God my God
Columnated ruins domino
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping
Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn my God my God
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumperter swan my God my God
Columnated ruins domino
Canvass 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 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 hard 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
A children's song
Have you listened as they played
Their song is love father of the man
And the children know the way
Father of the man
A children's song father of the man
Have you listened as they played
Father of the man
Their song is love father of the man
And the children know the way
Father of the man
A child
