A recorded reading of “Salt And Sun”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
Towels take flight; salt sky freckles our arms. Bare feet drum the shore; summer’s underway. Feet in sand, hearts in time; we refuse to drift. stay—stay. Roll on, hold on; shine bright, ride on. Sunscreen hands, a radio, watermelon grin; bucket and spade; a chorus riding the wind. Wave by wave we lean into the spin; lean in, begin again. Oh—oh—rise. Oh—oh—rise. Roll on, hold on; shine bright, ride on, and the whistle smiles while the day tips gold off the rim.

[Chorus] Roll on, hold on Shine bright, ride on Roll on, hold on Shine bright, ride on [Verse 2] Sunscreen hands, radio, watermelon grin. Bucket, spade, chorus on the wind.
