[Verse 1]

As the waves crash in on the western shore

The wind blows fierce from the east

Wave tops torn into flying spindrift, spindrift

[Interlude]

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ohhh

[Verse 2]

As the waves crash in on the western shore

It makes me feel uneasy

The spray that's torn away

Is an image of the way I feel

[Chorus]

What am I supposed to say?

Where are the words to answer you

When you talk that way?

Oooh-ooh-ohhh

[Verse 3]

As sun goes down on the western shore

The wind blows hard from the east

It whips the sand into a flying spindrift, spindrift

[Verse 4]

As the sun goes down on the western shore

It makes me feel uneasy

In the hot dry rasp of the devil winds

Who cares what a fool believes

[Chorus]

What am I supposed to say?

Where are the words to answer you

When you talk that way?

Words that fly against the wind and waves

[Post-Chorus]

A little closer to you

Where is the wave that will carry me

A little closer to you?

Where is the wave that will carry me?

[Chorus]

What am I supposed to say?

Where are the words to answer you

When you talk that way?

Oooh-ooh-ohhh

[Chorus]

What am I suppose to do?

Where are the words that will make you see

What I believe is true?

Where is the wave that will carry me

[Post-Chorus]

A little closer to you?

Where is the wave that will carry me

A little closer to you?

Where is the wave that will carry me

A little closer to you?

Where is the wave that will carry me

A little closer to you?
