(Verse 1) Sunrise on the water, wheels are spinnin' slow Another day breakin', but the joy ain't gonna flow Used to ride this path with you, feel the ocean breeze Now the salty air just whispers, memories, memories (Chorus) Bike ride blues, down by the shore Reggae rhythm thumpin', but it ain't like before Missing your laughter, missing your hand in mine This ain't no island paradise, just a lonely grind (Verse 2) Seagulls cryin' overhead, a mournful, wailin' sound Each crashing wave a reminder, of what I can't be found Remember your smile, shinin' brighter than the sun Now the light is dimmer, since our ride is done (Chorus) Bike ride blues, down by the shore Reggae rhythm thumpin', but it ain't like before Missing your laughter, missing your hand in mine This ain't no island paradise, just a lonely grind [Guitar Solo - Chicago blues style, with a reggae-influenced offbeat rhythm] (Bridge) The bass line's steady, the drums keep the pace But this ain't a celebration, just an empty space Where your voice used to echo, on this ocean breeze Now the wind just howls a lonely, lonely plea (Chorus) Bike ride blues, down by the shore Reggae rhythm thumpin', but it ain't like before Missing your laughter, missing your hand in mine This ain't no island paradise, just a lonely grind (Outro) Yeah, just a lonely grind... this bike ride blues... Missing you, baby... missing you... [Fades out with a bluesy guitar riff and a reggae-influenced bassline]
