Fair Play Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Paega 

Cover art for Fair Play lyrics by Van Morrison

I agree with twee!, it's about walking, but I think it's about walking with a child and enjoying their childish exclamations: "High-ho Silver!", "tit-for-tat", "Geronimo!",etc.

"Forever fair And I'm touching your hair I wish we could be dreamers In this dream, oh Let it dream"

Van's aware that the child's fair hair will grow darker as he/she ages and just wishes the walk could be held unchanging, as in a dream.

In this song, "Geronimo" has nothing to do with the above comment calling it " a particular and peculiar sexual move involving leaping onto your partner". In fact, it refers to San Geronimo Valley in Marin County, near the town of Fairfax, where, according to Marin Magazine, "songwriter Van Morrison called home in the ’70s—his parents even owned a record store in town for many years".
