The Ocean (Is Bleeding Salt) Lyrics
Strung out down in a hole
And the ocean is bleeding salt down the mile
So I hid, as armies marched
But you found me, I'll turn when I sleep on your porch
And don't you cry, my darling
Nashville is forgotten
Mama, and don't you cry, my darling
New York is the ocean
Brooklyn, quiet and cold
When the bars close
You're stuck counting cracks on the street
Then war breaks and you're swinging a gun
When the bomb drops
You're stuck picking lead from your teeth
And don't you cry, my darling
Nashville is forgotten
Mama, and don't you cry, my darling
New York is the ocean
Strung out down in a hole
And the ocean is bleeding down the mile
And the ocean is bleeding salt down the mile
So I hid, as armies marched
But you found me, I'll turn when I sleep on your porch
Nashville is forgotten
Mama, and don't you cry, my darling
New York is the ocean
When the bars close
You're stuck counting cracks on the street
When the bomb drops
You're stuck picking lead from your teeth
Nashville is forgotten
Mama, and don't you cry, my darling
New York is the ocean
And the ocean is bleeding down the mile
