Story Behind The Song

Growing up along the California coast and the islands of Hawaii gave me feelings of joy as a young boy hanging out with my friends and our surfboards riding the waves...

Song Description

Song can best be described as one about surfing the coastal shores of Maui and following the sun in search for bigger waves... A celestial dreamy song about surfing the days away and into the night sky from a young mans perspective so young at heart with no worries, no bills to pay just living the life... A Surfers Life..

Tempo surf rock/fast

Verse 1
It's late September in Kahana,
Most of the tourists have gone away
I look forward to less crowded beaches
And waxing up my water sleigh

Verse 2
Surfing Lahaina's coral reefs
Last summer was so much fun
I am ready now, as winter comes
For bigger waves, gon'na follow that sun

Pre-Chorus
When the day is done and the evening arrives
Sometimes there is no moon to shine
The bright stars, they are standing by,
To light up the sand that reflects, along the shoreline

Chorus
I'm surfin' the night skies
Celestial stellar reefs
Majestic and beautiful
The galaxy stretching beyond belief
Riding those cosmic waves
If only in my dreams
Try to convince me more and more,
That a surfer's life, is for me

Verse 3
I've seen the Maui sunset
Many times before and it makes me smile
Sometimes when things are right
They say a green light will flash if you wait awhile

Verse 4
Growing up at the beach, I don't
Get what city life's about?
I'd rather take it slowly
The hustle and bustle, I can surely do without

Pre-Chorus
Then, when the evening comes along
And there's no moon in the sky
And the stars, they take over the night
Resting up there, you know they make me feel so high


Chorus
I'm surfin' the night skies
Celestial stellar reefs
Majestic and beautiful the
Galaxy stretches beyond belief
Riding those cosmic waves
If only in my dreams
Try to convince me more and more,
That a surfer's life, is for me

Bridge
I open my eyes and feel so alive
After a good nights rest
No bills to pay, no worries yet,
Livin' life so young at heart
And in my wildest dreams I gotta believe
That a surfer's life is the best

Chorus
I'm surfin' the night skies
Celestial stellar reefs
Majestic and beautiful the
Galaxy stretches beyond belief
Riding those cosmic waves
If only in my dreams
Try to convince me more and more,
That a surfer's life, is for me

Riding those cosmic waves
Take me back into my dreams
And let me live the life I love
You know a surfer's life, is for me

End...
