[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?
