Salt & Blues Lyrics
let's stay right where we fell
here near that magic swell
there's nothing else i want to do
i'll keep very still
i'll keep my distance well
i just want to watch you move
cause they're shining now
and they're crashing down
just like they've done forever
even when you're not there
it never stops i swear
not for one second ever
a long time is what forever is
but here's this gorgeous day
just sand and salt and blues ok
fear not but for the trembles
and waves like seraphim
to throw your hunger in
cast out by the handful
and all i'd ask of you
is just one kiss or two
and a whisper to remain
and when this part is through
for my body to
be left out in the rain
a long time is what forever is
ain't you tired? ain't you tired?
if winter comes on time
in her coat she'll find
that note i wrote back then
'sleep after every day
but never get to say
goodnight to you again'
here near that magic swell
there's nothing else i want to do
i'll keep very still
i'll keep my distance well
i just want to watch you move
and they're crashing down
just like they've done forever
even when you're not there
it never stops i swear
not for one second ever
just sand and salt and blues ok
fear not but for the trembles
and waves like seraphim
to throw your hunger in
cast out by the handful
is just one kiss or two
and a whisper to remain
and when this part is through
for my body to
be left out in the rain
in her coat she'll find
that note i wrote back then
'sleep after every day
but never get to say
goodnight to you again'

one of the more subtle songwriters out there making a naturalistic metaphor of constantly onrushing waves at the beach. his memory of the time that he first got through to her and they got together was backed by this same scene, but now the waves just remind him of the constancy of his feelings of longing for her. too good.
