Salt - Tanya Donelly

Come out with me

In the salt of the blinding rain

Let it leave its trace in the pepper

Grays of your sweet holy face

While up above the storm

The heavens proceed

And as above so below

In nothing more or less than love

Let me bring you in

From the salt of the blinding rain

Are you in or out or gone or come or gone again

Don’t you think I want to feel the same rain

Don’t you think I wanna run too

But I stay, feet in clay in the salt of the earth

You copy you paste you lose

Tell me again we are safe from rain

Tell me again we are safe from harm

Tell me again we can lift the fingerprints of man

From the blueprints of God

That we’re the salt in the brine

The tannin in the wine

The bitter fruit tthat kills the bug

And maybe it looks to some

Like we’re fading away

But faded has always been my favorite color anyway

So come on you dumb runaway

It’s better to fade away than die young

And you’re this girl’s most needed thing

So let me bring you in

Tell me again we are safe from rain

Tell me again we are safe from harm

Tell me again we can wipe the fingerprints of man

Off the blueprints of God

That we’re the bark in the dark that keeps the creeps away

That we’re the bitter fruit tthat kills the bug

That we’re the salt in the brine, the tannin in the wine

We’re the last ones up

We’re the last ones up

We’re the last ones up

We’re the last ones up

We’re the last ones up
