The Surfer Moon Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a moon in the sky somewhere I know
Waiting for all the love to burn below
If you fall and it happens all too soon
Blame it all on the surfer moon
[Verse 2]
'Neath the hill 'hind the cloud one dreamy night
Rising up, throwing down its golden light
If your heart hears this melancholy tune
Then you'll know it's the surfer moon
[Bridge]
Brings the tide in
Takes it all away
Helps us ride in
Brings us waves each day, I say
[Verse 3]
Other moons have brought light and love before
Promising to remain for evermore
But they've all disappeared with each new tune
They make way for the surfer moon
[Outro]

There's a moon in the sky somewhere I know
Waiting for all the love to burn below
If you fall and it happens all too soon
Blame it all on the surfer moon
[Verse 2]
'Neath the hill 'hind the cloud one dreamy night
Rising up, throwing down its golden light
If your heart hears this melancholy tune
Then you'll know it's the surfer moon
[Bridge]
Brings the tide in
Takes it all away
Helps us ride in
Brings us waves each day, I say
[Verse 3]
Other moons have brought light and love before
Promising to remain for evermore
But they've all disappeared with each new tune
They make way for the surfer moon
[Outro]

Genius Annotation
The overall theme of this song implies that the Surfer Moon actually brings a sort of terror to all people who fall victim to it. All other moons make way for it, and it waits to burn all the love below. It could also be a reference to the major effects on waves at night when the moon comes out.
