Текст песни: Salt Water + перевод

When I was young, in Oklahoma

I’d spend the summers living in a swimming pool

And Dad would lift me up on his shoulders

And while away the afternoon

He’d tell me stories about his childhood in salt water

He grew up in California

But chased a girl all the way to Chickasha

Fell in love and made a promise

Had it all but never forgot

They built a home and had a daughter

But he still missed that salt water

He missed the rush of the waves, the breeze on his face

And the blue that never ends

And when I turned seventeen, I knew I had to see

So I looked at him and said

Take me down to California

We can lay out in the sun

We’ll take a ride by the ocean

And count the palm trees one by one

And I’ll never have to wonder what it feels like

Salt water

I left home right after college

And kissed my Daddy on the cheek

Headed west to California

Wrote him letters every week

Fell in love and had a daughter

She grew up swimming in salt water

Oh the years flew right by

'Til that phone call in the night

Dad was on his final breath

I rushed home to his side, tears falling from my eyes

But he smiled at me and said

Take me down to California

Lay me out in the sun

Find a place by the ocean

Far away from everyone

Kneel down at nature’s altar

Salt water, ooh

Let the waves wash me under

Salt water
