Story Behind The Song
Matunuck Rhode Island has a point break formed by a mussel bed, and on this day the fog was wispy and seemed to have a playful personality. Mr. Wave Man refers to the Maker of Waves (and men).

Lyrics
the sun and fog are playing hide and seek
the wind is low and I can't see the beach
Mr. Wave Man, take me home
Mr. Wave Man, take me home
gonna ride all the way home
don't care how far I have to roam
friends are near, friends from far away
they lend me chear, more than I can say
Mr. Wave Man, take me home
Mr. Wave Man, take me home
take a ride down that salty road
you don't know how much a soul can hold
Mr. Wave Man, take me home
Mr. Wave Man, take me home
the fog is free, free for today
no life for those who refuse to play
the sun is gray, gray as the sea
shine on me, make me silvery
Mr. Wave Man, take me home
Mr. Wave Man, take me home
