Daddy, Your Shirt Smelled Like Sun (Version 2)- Lyrics
Verse 1]
When I was small
I’d crawl into your shadow
Buttoned shirt
Dust and soap
I could hear your heart slow
Calloused hands
Heavy breath
You were half asleep
But you’d shift
Make space
Like you had all week
[Chorus]
Daddy
Your shirt smelled like sun
Like laundry lines and long days done
You worked this world ‘til your fingers went numb
So we could eat
So we could dream
You held the weight
You held me
It was my father
Always my father
Quiet as a prayer in the dark
[Verse 2]
You’d count your cash
At the kitchen table
Mutter numbers
Shake your head
Say
“We’ll be able”
Shoes by the door
Dust on the floor
You’d kiss my hair
Then head out once more
[Chorus]
Daddy
Your shirt smelled like sun
Like laundry lines and long days done
You worked this world ‘til your fingers went numb
So we could eat
So we could dream
You held the weight
You held me
It was my father
Always my father
Quiet as a prayer in the dark
[Bridge]
Now I stand where you stood
Light in an empty room
Count my own small worries
Hear your voice cut through
“You’ll be fine
Just take your time”
I close my eyes
And I’m five
[Chorus]
Daddy
Your shirt smelled like sun
Like laundry lines and long days done
You worked this world ‘til your fingers went numb
So we could eat
So we could dream
You held the weight
You held me
It was my father
Always my father
Holding up our little world so it could start
