Ride the Wave, Dave

[Verse] Thirty years The numbers danced Through your hands No second chance Accreditation Your steady fight Data whisperer Our guiding light [Chorus] Ride the wave Dave The tide’s calling you away Ride the wave Dave But your spirit’s here to stay [Verse 2] South Florida sun Your shadow cast On reports that always held steadfast Public health Your careful care Without you Man It's just not fair [Prechorus] The spreadsheets cry They’ll miss your touch We’ll miss your laugh We’ll miss so much [Chorus] Ride the wave Dave The tide’s calling you away Ride the wave Dave But your spirit’s here to stay [Bridge] Coconuts clinking The surf rolls on But in our hearts You’ll never be gone Excel’s quiet now No pivot to find Dave You’re forever etched in our minds
