Saltwater Secret (v2)

Lyrics

At midnight she packed the cooler
Sunscreen, towels, a paper crown
Pinned a gold coin of daylight
To the dress she'd wear downtown
By dawn the pier was silver
She carried light in her jar
Bare feet racing past a lifeguard stand
Laughing at how brave hearts are
Sand, salt, sun, sea
She said, come on, follow me
One wave, two hands, three breaths
She'd spend her fear on every step
Beach day, bright and wide
No secret left to hide
Oh, hey
Hey
She lost one shoe by the jetty
Her picnic blew down the shore
The tide took the note she'd written
And gave her a better one back more
At sunset the borrowed sunlight
Lay warm across her knees
She told the moon what she'd practiced
And the moon kept the secret with these
Sand, salt, sun, sea
She was never waiting to be free
One wave, two hands, three breaths
She turned her fear into a dress
Beach day, bright and wide
She let the whole world inside
Hey
Oh
Hey
