Lyrics

I used to want it all
The rise and the fall
Of chasing down the giant
At every port of call

I was living life on luck
Nothing ever was enough
It chewed me up, and spit me out
And left me all washed up

With salt on my tongue
A burn from the sun
The thought of once was
When I dream...

I’ve got a shelter above
And the woman I love
All I need

I used to dream the big wave would come
Take me to some island in the sun
But now I ride the small waves, love
That life’ keeps sending me on

Now I’m back up to my feet
And I’m dancing to the beat
The carnival of drums
And a tropic melody

I ride life as it comes
And that'll be enough

I used to dream the big wave would come
Take me to some island in the sun
But now I ride the small waves, love
That life keeps sending me on

All the big waves used to toss me ‘round
But the small waves never let me down
It’s the easy life I’m living now
On the small waves I keep riding out

I used to dream the big wave would come
Take me to some island in the sun
But now I ride the small waves, love
That life keeps sending me on
