You & I

you and i should head to Florida in October

when the sands not blazing hot and the college kids are sober

when no one else ocean minded is around

when the shouts of summer have ceased to sound

you and I should hit the beach on Halloween

when the waves are thick with storms and the boardwalk is swept clean

we could see for miles and not lay an eye on a soul

we could talk around a bonfire and discuss how we’d grow old

you and I should rush ashore after summer

you’d meet a girl, one like me, and learn to love her

we’d spend our days in coastal haze and wistful laughter

we’d be happy in the present and hereafter
