Skilled at surfin’, he was the best  
Forty miles per hour, riding the crest  
Right between the pilings of a Malibu pier  
While darting to the wipe out as the pilings appeared

The sun was setting on the Earth that day, woe-oh…  
The tide as it set seemed to say, woe-oh…  
You should’ve stayed at home  
But how could you have known  
Your destiny was to be  
A tragedy, surfin’ tragedy

Don’t drink, don’t smoke  
Whatcha do you do  
Don’t drink, don’t smoke  
Whatcha do you do  
Subtle innuendoes follow

They asked me how I knew  
My true love was true  
I of course replied  
Something here inside  
Can not be denied

They, said some day you’ll find  
All who love are blind  
When your heart’s on fire  
You must realize  
Smoke gets in your eyes

All my instincts, they return  
The grand façade, so soon will burn  
Without a noise, without my pride  
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes…

With the eyes of a child  
You must come out and see  
That your world’s spinning 'round  
And through life you will be

A small part of a hope  
Of a love that exists  
In the eyes of a child you will see

Well you wore out your welcome with random precision  
Rode on the steel breeze.  
Come on you raver, you seer of visions  
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

[3 times for The Story In Your Eyes in the space of one month-but hey it’s the Moodies so I can’t complain]

The innocence of sleeping children  
Dressed in white and slowly dreaming  
Stops all time  
I slow my steps and start to blur  
So many years have filled my heart  
I never thought I’d say those words

Further we go  
And older we grow  
The more we know  
The less we show

Go to sleep my baby  
Close your pretty eyes  
Angels up above you  
Peeping at you dearly from the skies  
Great big moon is shining  
Stars begin to peek  
Time for little dreamy babies  
To go to sleep  
Little dreamy babies, go to sleep

Come on baby  
Let’s get out of this town  
I got a full tank of gas  
With the top rolled down  
There’s a chill in my bones  
I don’t wanna be left alone  
So baby you can sleep while I drive
