Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Salty skin, windswept hair
Sand between my toes, the pair I always wear
Surfers wild and free in the sea
A life of passion, it was all to me
(Chorus)
But time goes by, the years roll on
Strength fades, the body tires, can't go on
The boards lie still, the surf shoes gather dust
But the memory of the waves remains untarnished
An Old Surfer's Song
(Verse 1)
Salty skin, windswept hair
Sand between my toes, the pair I always wear
Surfers wild and free in the sea
A life of passion, it was all to me
(Chorus)
But time goes by, the years roll on
Strength fades, the body tires, can't go on
The boards lie still, the surf shoes gather dust
But the memory of the waves remains untarnished
(Verse 2)
I watch the kids, how they glide over the waves
With ease and grace, I wish I had in my old days
I'm not envious, no, I'm happy for them
For they're living the dream that was once mine, like never before
(Chorus)
But time goes by, the years roll on
Strength fades, the body tires, can't go on
The boards lie still, the surf shoes gather dust
But the memory of the waves remains untarnished
(Bridge)
I close my eyes and think of the time
When I danced on the waves, full of joy and freedom
The spray on my face, the wind in my hair
The feeling of invincibility, it was beyond compare
(Chorus)
But time goes by, the years roll on
Strength fades, the body tires, can't go on
The boards lie still, the surf shoes gather dust
But the memory of the waves remains untarnished
(Outro)
I may not be able to surf anymore, but in my heart I'm free
Surfing lives on in me, forever, just as it should always be
(Verse 2)
I watch the kids, how they glide over the waves
With ease and grace, I wish I had in my old days
I'm not envious, no, I'm happy for them
For they're living the dream that was once mine, like never before
Salty skin, windswept hair
Sand between my toes, the pair I always wear
Surfers wild and free in the sea
A life of passion, it was all to me
(Chorus)
But time goes by, the years roll on
Strength fades, the body tires, can't go on
The boards lie still, the surf shoes gather dust
But the memory of the waves remains untarnished
(Outro)
I may not be able to surf anymore, but in my heart I'm free
Surfing lives on in me, forever, just as it should always be
