Salt Year Lyrics
Seventeen years before
Yeah I should’a hauled off and kissed her
Now I lace my wine with ginger
Just let my evenin’s pass,
They pass, they pass, they pass,
They pass
She’s whistlin’ in a candy store
And I’m just screamin’ in the dark here
I’m just chokin’ down a salt year
When sugar’s all I’ve longed for, all I’ve longed for,
All I’ve longed for
Try again
Try again
Try again
Try again
Seventeen and there she stood
A photograph in my doorway
And I felt all my light leave me
My thoughts all tumblin’ under, tumblin’ under,
Tumblin’ under
After then my days resigned
To static and grey hair and soft cryin’
Like a cracked crystal secondhand wind chime
Just clangin’ for a lover, for a lover,
For a lover
Try again
Try again
Try again
Try again
Yeah I should’a hauled off and kissed her
Now I lace my wine with ginger
Just let my evenin’s pass,
They pass, they pass, they pass,
They pass
And I’m just screamin’ in the dark here
I’m just chokin’ down a salt year
When sugar’s all I’ve longed for, all I’ve longed for,
All I’ve longed for
A photograph in my doorway
And I felt all my light leave me
My thoughts all tumblin’ under, tumblin’ under,
Tumblin’ under
To static and grey hair and soft cryin’
Like a cracked crystal secondhand wind chime
Just clangin’ for a lover, for a lover,
For a lover
