Intro: The sun’s dropping out of the picture Soon be time to move It hasn’t been a real big day But I don’t have a thing to prove I’ve still got the old nose rider I still surf old style I’ll go out beyond the breakers Sit alone and rest a while There’s nothing that I wanna do No place I’m trying to reach Only time is now more precious to The oldest surfer on the beach The oldest surfer on the beach I stopped searching for perfection Many waves ago What really matters is the here and now And that’s about all I know Gonna catch me a big ’ole roller Sun setting on the sea Riding in on her glassy shoulder The water going grey like me There’s nothing that I wanna do No place I’m trying to reach Only time is now more precious to The oldest surfer on the beach The oldest surfer on the beach
