Dip in the Morning

Ain’t nothing like a dip in the morning
Always helps me get my head on right
Slipping in just as the day is dawning
Makes me happy makes me feel alright
Nothing like a little dip in the morning
A little session in the early morning light
You know that feeling comes without a warning
live and die in that pool of life
And you know it makes me wanna go
Yahoo aaaooooo
When I'm in doubt I just paddle out
Clears my mind heals my soul
Can't do without it I just gotta go
Ain't nothing like a dip in the morning
Always helps me get my head on right
Slipping in just as the day is dawning
Makes me happy makes me feel alright
Yahoo aaaooooo
When I'm in doubt I just paddle out
Clears my mind heals my soul
Can't do without it I just gotta go
Every day all the time just dropping in is on my mind

Up before dawn gotta check the report
Looks like a day for fun
Drop the kids off at school or put em on the bus
or a little home school
Teach em bout the tides and the wind and the motions that blend
The swell and fall of sections and walls that allow us to defy…gravity
This day yeah is made for surf in
Yeah this day is made for surfin
Take 95 to US 1 we’re on our way
Take the Five to highway One , H2 to Kam highway
Don't have to rush , one things for sure the waves will be there
Little sprinkle of rain don’t bother me, I love the rainbows
Big ole north a coming thru, Sebastian, Laneakea, Santa Cruz
Gotta get in and mix it up with the boys
Yeah we’re all here for the fun
I can see you on the first one, think I'll take the second one
I'm sure Greg would take the big one, Peter and Kimo on the right one
Gerry and Jock on the left one, yeah were all having lots a fun
Under this Hawaiian sun, you know that Eddie would go
This day yeah is made for surfin
Yeah this day is made for surfin
As I wait for the last wave of the day so patiently
See the sunset so gold and red, I feel it deep inside
This day yeah is made for surfin
Yeah this day is made for surfin

Kammies, H Muira and Haleiwa Strained Poi
Mai Tais at the Seaview Inn Hooo boy!!
Ustabe formerly but no more
What’s left to fall to just a memory of before
Sugar Bar not as sweet as it usetabe
Jerrys Sweet Shop burgers a buck for three
Haleiwa Theatre to an “Oh! McDonalds?”
That’s a hell of a switch
Usetabe formerly ain't it a bitch
Some times I hear somebody giving directions
You know where so and so usetabe
I'll take a slice of north shore nostalgia
Slice it thickly
Country Surfboards, Country Doughnuts, Haleiwa Hotel
Had a surfboard, ate a donut, hotel I didn’t know it well
Usetabe formerly but no more
Whats next to fall to just a memory
Just a memory just a memory
Gone gone lone gone
No more no more
Ustabe formerly but no more
A memory formerly of what usetabe

Asian Persuasion
04:52
|
|||
|
I never had a name for it till a friend told me
But I knew all along it had a hold on me
Glad you were a friend of a friend
Or I never would’ve met cha
Wasn’t long at all before I knew I'd be
Away , taken away away , taken away
With an asian persuasion like you
With an asian persuasion like you
What could I do, what could I do
Coy smile to sullen lips
There’s magic in your finger tips
Nothing else that I can do
But spend the rest of my life with you
Away , taken away away , taken away
With an asian persuasion like you
With an asian persuasion like you
What could I do, what could I do
I never had a name for it till a friend told me
But I knew all along it had a hold on me
Glad you were a friend of a friend
Or I never would’ve met cha
Wasn’t long at all before I knew I'd be
Away , taken away, away , taken away

Coulda Shoulda Woulda
03:37
|

|
I didn’t think i'd miss her
Didn’t even try to kiss her
Just turned my back and let her go
What did I know
Shoulda let it show
Resentment grows
Coulda- shoulda- woulda…shoulda-
woulda- coulda…Woulda- coulda-shoulda
She said don’t let the screen door
hit you on your way out
It might have knocked some sense
into me without a doubt
It might not have ended with all that shouting
Coulda- shoulda- woulda…shoulda-
woulda- coulda…Woulda- coulda-shoulda
If id opened my eyes I could have seen
Exactly where I shouldn't have been
If id a kept my nose clean I could have smelled
the trouble brewing
Coulda- shoulda- woulda…shoulda-
woulda- woulda…Woulda- coulda-shoulda
I was thinking with my
heart instead of my mind
That's what I do most all the time
If id a known then what I know now
Only hindsight is a twenty twenty
Only hindsight is a twenty twenty

I’m high on life baby more than just a little
Shake me up baby now see where I'll settle
High on living high on being alive
High on being around seeing my reflection in your eyes
eyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeyyyyyeeeees
Flitting and a fluttering liting down next to you
Like sprinkles floating on the breeze yeah next to the children too
If life is a party you know just where I want to be
In the pocket of your party dress
Or in the toe of your dancing shoes
ooooooooo
I'm high on life baby
high on living
High on being alive
giving more than I'm given
I’m high on life baby
more than just a little
Shake me up baby

Mother Ocean
04:30
|

|
She’s calling me guess I'll slide away
Got to feel her touch most every day
She’s warm and she’s wild calls me her child
I warm to her touch
She’s my mother ocean how I love her
Often she rages it’s anticipated
We wait by her side hear the wind cry
When her anger subsides on her momentum we glide
And dance in her tides . . . . . . . .
You know she’s taken it all of these years
Look her in the eyes see the tears the fears
I'll do all that I can, can I count on you
We’ve got to show her we still love her too
She’s calling me guess I'll slide away
Got to feel her touch most every day
She’s warm and she’s wild calls me her child
I warm to her touch
She’s my mother ocean how I love her

Love
03:43
|

I just saw love go leaping out the window
Just like i’ve seen it go so many times before
You know love comes around by just which way the wind blows
Guess it wasn’t me this time love was looking for
Lo-ve! Just flew out the window
Lo-ve! Don’t live here any more
Lo-ve! Knows it the place to be
Lo-ve! That’s the place I been lookin for
Love isn’t the enemy it’s just the one it comes from
Love is gracious love is kind it’s all in your state of mind
Lo-ve! Just flew out the window
Lo-ve! Don’t live here any more
Lo-ve! Knows it the place to be
Lo-ve that’s the place I was lookin for
Have you ever been in love
Have you ever fallen in love
Had a little taste of love
Been ruled or ruined by love
Love, Lo-ve
Love, Lo-ve
Love

B-L-U-E-S yes yes I've got em
Grabbing me shaking me jerking my chain
Burying deep inside of my brain
Can’t even mention don’t want to say
What it is that makes me feel this way
B-L-U-E-S yes yes I've got em
Why does it make me feel so alone
All I want to do is lay down and moan
I can’t even say it I ain't gonna try
If it gets any deeper I might even cry
B-L-U-E-S yes yes I've got em
I hate to tell you but you gotta know
Cause you don’t want what I got man that’s for sure
Don’t tell em my name I wont tell em yours
Cause if he finds ya he'll get you down more and more

When
03:14
|
|||
|
Its been thirty years since I've seen you come and go
You used to come without a warning now every kook.com knows
When to go . . . . . . . . .
But that’s OK they all just came to play
And you put a smile on our faces
Restore our faith in the human races once again
And thank god . . . . . . . . . for the free waves
You come out of nowhere instantaneously materialize
And just as quickly break and vanish before our eyes
Like chasing a mirage a complete waste of time
But like Da Cat said that’s how I choose to live mine
And thank god for the free waves yeah
Thank him for the free waves yeah yeah the free waves
Now come on back when you can
Next time bring all your friends
We'll be here to meet ya
We'll even paddle out to greet you again
Just let me know when . . . . . . . . . are you coming back again
Did I hear you say when . . . . . . . . . are you coming back again
Tell me, tell me, tell me tell me when . . . . . . . . . are you coming back again

I Been Meaning To
03:19
|

|
Lately I've been meaning to
Be the one like you wanted
Always the thoughtful one
Always remember never forget your . . . . . . . . . La La La La La La La
They call it loss of motivation, procrastination,
Or simply laziness
You know, I been meaning to
Get around to it
You know I been meaning to
I been meaning to get around to it
I been meaning to
You’ve got a terrible memory
There ain't nothing you ever forget
They say I got a big lazy bone in me
And they haven't found the other end yet
As we all get older our memories flow over
And sometimes get a little scattered and lost
So please don’t get upset with me
I really don’t mean to be forgetting
Its called just paying the cost of living
Yeah they call it loss of motivation, procrastination,
Or simply laziness
You know, I been meaning to
Get around to it
You know I been meaning to
I been meaning to get around to it
I been meaning to get around to gettin around to you, yeah i been meaning to

Marker line me up even when I'm down
Marker even there when I'm not around
Marker always pointing at the peak
I'll be there because of thee
And we’ll all be getting older
Just sitting along your shoulder
Hey buddy won’t ya move it on over
Dropping in because of you
Off the lip a time or two
Making that section
Ahooo Ahoooooo
Marker line me up even when I'm down
Marker even there when I'm not around
Marker always pointing at the peak
I'll be there because of thee
And when I'm old and unable
To be sitting at your table
Won'tcha point one more out for me
Make it six feet and glassy
Hoooeeee Hoooeeee
Marker line me up even when I'm down
Marker even there when I'm not around
Marker always pointing at the peak
I'll be there because of thee
Dropping in because of you
Off the lip a time or two
Making that section Ahooo Ahoooooo

Little Piece Of My Skin
07:26

|
I lost another little piece of my skin today. . . again . . .
I lost another little piece of my skin today. . . again . . .
Off of my nose and off of my toes an down to the bottom
Of the ocean who knows
Whoa oooo whoa oooo whoa oooo
Everyday in every way and in and out and out and in
I lost another little piece of my skin today. . . again . . .
Another little piece and another little piece
And another and another
I lost another little piece of my friend today. . . again
I lost another little piece of my friend today. . . again
A little bit of this and a little bit of that
A little bit of smoke and a little bit of crack
A little bit of cocaine and a little bit of smack
And down to the bottom down to the bottom again
I lost another little piece of my kin today. . . again
I lost another little piece of my kin today. . . again
He'd climbed up the ladder as high as he could
With his health and his wealth and all that it stood for
And down to the bottom down to the bottom again

The Music In Me
03:26
|
|||
|
Let the music in me the music in me
Let the music in me be the music in you
I'm only the messenger here, the musics voice is so clear
It comes so easy night and day, even in my sleep I can hear it
Playing, Saying, with you as my voice there's no hesitating
Some of the best not written down has been forgotten
And this song will be to if you don’t allow it to be in you
Let the music in me the music in me
Let the music in me be the music in you
Only for now its familiar, feel it engraved in our DNA
From birth and before, from birth and before
Faint rhythms rhyming words flow in ribbons of thought
From hearts, to fingers, to lips to be
heard like a new born’s cry for the first time, cry for the first time
To begin again and again
Let the music in me the music in me
Let the music in me be the music in you
Only for now it’s familiar
Only for now it’s familiar
