    Lyrics
    Old Man in the Surf
    By Chuck Phillips

    I saw him walking along the beach
    The crashing waves within his reach
    His surfboard from beach boy radio
    When the water cooled the naive soul
    From the Keys to Waikiki
    The bells toll for the dying sea

    I saw him kneel and sift the sand
    Watching time slip through his hand
    I tried to speak, to ask his name
    But he disappeared in the wind and rain
    From the Keys to Waikiki
    The bells toll for the dying sea

    I found some refuge from the storm
    The old man returned, something in his arms
    I sensed the anger and despair
    In the dolphin's sad and piercing stare
    From the Keys to Waikiki
    The bells toll for the dying sea

    I knew the loss, I felt the pain
    We would never ride the waves again
    The dolphin and old man knew
    Our paradise was all but doomed
    From the Keys to Waikiki
    The bells toll for the dying sea

    Now I wander through desert wastes
    Only memories of that distant place
    Where waters of life ran pristine blue
    And defined all life for me and you
    From the Keys to Waikiki
    The bells toll for the dying sea
