[Intro] (double time) (x2) [Verse 1] Rain is pouring down In our land-locked town Skies are always gray Let’s go surfing babe Somewhere there is hope Somewhere there are dreams Far from soot and smoke Let’s go surfing babe [Chorus 1] Tonight as we look at the moon and the stars From our room with security bars There’s a westerly wind that is Blowing both our minds and both our feet Walk through sand that’s as white as the snow Past the people named Kelley and Joe Who have nothing in common with anyone we know [Verse 2] We know they’re too Wagnerian Too Shakespearian Too impossible Let’s go surfing babe Somewhere there is hope Far from everything Far from misanthropes Let’s go surfing babe [Chorus 2] Tonight from a room only Dickens could love Wearing moth-eaten sweaters and gloves We will open the window and Feel an on-shore wind a-blowing in Grab our boards from the back of our van Paddle out ’til we can’t see the sand Spin around and drop into the wave we hope will never end [Instrumental] (double time) (x2) [Verse 3] (Spoken) Somewhere there is hope (Spoken) Somewhere there are dreams (Spoken) Far from everything Let’s go surfing babe [Chorus 3] Tonight grab our boards from the back of our van Paddle out ’til we can’t see the sand Spin around and drop into the wave we hope will never end [Bridge] Catch wave wave wave Catch wave wave wave [Verse 4] Somewhere there is hope Somewhere there are dreams Far from everything Let’s go surfing babe Somewhere there is hope Somewhere there are dreams Far from everything Let’s go surfing babe [Outro] (x3)
