🎵Listening: Dan Reeder - You'll Never Surf Again
DAN REEDER
You'll Never Surf Again LyricsThe doctor said "Sit down, I got some bad news"
Said "Put your pants back on, tie up those shoes"
When I braced myself for the worst
I knew this could mean the end
[Chorus]
He said "You'll never, ever, ever, surf again"
Never surf again
[Verse 2]
Said "I tell you as your doctor, and as your friend"
Take a few days off and let this sink in"
[Chorus]
You'll never, ever, ever, surf again
Never surf again
[Humming Improvisation]
[Verse 3]
My dream on Rincon, Bonzaii, Pipeline, and Waimea Bay
From one second to the next, just faded away
But then, nothing you can do when the doctor say
[Chorus]
"You'll never, ever, ever, surf again"
Never surf again
[Humming]
