sea salt in your hair

with sea salt in your hair, still
the mildest hint of winter
I told you about a place
where it’s summer all year ’round, there

you want it as a daydream
I want is as a new start
what matters is you’re asking in plurals ‘you and I are…’

and there will be a day
when patting on your back
I’m sure you’ll have exceeded all that I could expect
and I can only hope
you keep a little summer in your mind…

with summer in your eyes, Fil…
every time you fall, son
fuck the fall, there’s your path
fuck the fall, there’s your pa

I know you will be better
I know you will protect her
with summer in your hair, son
your back warmed by the red sun


and there will be a day
when patting on your back
I’m sure you’ll have exceeded all that I could expect
and I can only hope
you keep a little summer in your mind…
with sea salt in your hair, boy
