girl
with sun-kissed cheekbones
and golden-red hair
fingertips brushing daisies
in the warm summer air
girl
with freckles like stars
tears like silver prayers
don't stray too far
in the warm summer air
the sun's hugs feels like home
the daisies like angel hair
but when the sun sleeps
you can't stay
in the warm summer air
you've fled too far
in the warm summer air
shadows stain
your golden-red hair
raging hot stars
outshine your freckles
and I cannot answer
your helpless silver prayers
the night swallowed
your daisies without care
ashes cover
your golden-red hair
but promise me
you'll learn
to see through despair
to keep reaching
to keep dreaming
of your
warm
summer air

girl
with sun-kissed cheekbones
and golden-red hair
fingertips brushing daisies
in the warm summer air
girl
with freckles like stars
tears like silver prayers
don't stray too far
in the warm summer air
the sun's hugs feels like home
the daisies like angel hair
but when the sun sleeps
you can't stay
in the warm summer air
you've fled too far
in the warm summer air
shadows stain
your golden-red hair
raging hot stars
outshine your freckles
and I cannot answer
your helpless silver prayers
the night swallowed
your daisies without care
ashes cover
your golden-red hair
but promise me
you'll learn
to see through despair
to keep reaching
to keep dreaming
of your
warm
summer air
