Lyrics
With a board that's midnight blue
another moonlit rendezvous
He surfs alone for the sea is his home
to shed painful tears all alone
too proud to shed the tears he hides
so he surfs at midnight a lonely ride
a love he lost that haunts him still
so he surfs at midnight, he always will
[ Chorus ]
by the moonlight you'll see him there
All the surfer's will say a prayer
for the midnight surfer in deep despair
[ Instrumental ]
the moon and the waves are his only friend
he'll cry for them, as the waves he'll ascend
his tear-stained board shows the scars
for his love is gone, to the stars
[ Chorus ]
by the moonlight you'll see him there
All the surfer's will say a prayer
for the midnight surfer in deep despair
[ Instrumental ]
