Salt Lyrics

Come out with me
In the salt of the blinding rain
Let it leave its trace in the pepper grace
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

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 that 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 that 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

Cover art for Salt lyrics by Tanya Donelly

From Tanya's Bandcamp: "This could be heard as a resignation, but it's not, even though I claim that "faded" is my favorite color. But really, it's just a singular letter written on a particular day in a specific mood to a certain person. Not a white flag, just a reminder that sometimes it hurts and we are lucky to have each other."
