Phantom Surfer Songtext
von The Tornadoes

He rides the waves on the grateful tides
When the evening shadows fall
And the only sound of the great waves′ pound
Is the lonely seagull's call

They say he died in a mean riptide
Where the river meets the sea
Now he seeks the earth that once gave him birth
But the ocean won′t let him free

The man on surf rides the waves
But he never reaches shore
For the sea he loved loved him in return
And he rides her forevermore


Gather up your boards, leave the sea its horde
Pile the driftwood, fire up high
As the fog rolls in and the sky grows dim
Close your ears to that lonely cry

They say he died in a mean riptide
Where the river meets the sea
Now he seeks the earth that once gave him birth
But the ocean won't set him free

The man on surf rides the waves
But he never reaches shore
For the sea he loved loved him in return
And he rides her forevermore

Gather up your boards, leave the sea its horde
Pile the driftwood, fire up high
As the fog rolls in and the sky grows dim
Close your ears to that lonely cry

Close your ears to that lonely cry
