Surfing in St Agnes


Surfing in St Agnes

Out where the waves
The greatest waves are rolling
Up on the lip
And skimming near the shore
No finer time
No better time for living
Riding the rail
And flying near the shore

Where surfing waves roll
The danger of life
Cuts into the soul
Takes it flying

Caught by the tide
An offshore wave is sweeping
Bearing away
And dragging to the deeps
No way to fight
From living into dying
Getting the air

And dragging to the deeps


Where surfing waves roll
The danger of life
Cuts into the soul
Takes it flying

Out comes the boat
Blue Peter 4 to rescue
Trapped in the surf
But pushing for the sea
This way and that
Until the surf is beaten
One surfer brought
Home safely from the sea

Where surfing waves roll
The danger of life
Cuts into the soul
Takes it flying
