lyrics

So things end the way they started
Though you thought you’d moved along
And time doesn’t heal you. You just forget why something hurts
So sit back in the salt of the earth
And remember why you came here
Something ‘bout righting a wrong
A child who doesn’t know better
An adult who knows much worse
They both kick you in the salt of the earth

The salt of the earth and the light of the sky
The asteroids in space are watching us die
But they don’t feel like I do
Hold you close the whole night through
And the salt of the earth of me is…

You were never in my future
You were just a dream come true
Like an angel from heaven on a mission of doom
You poured the salt of the earth into my wound

The salt of the earth is something too dear
Like the salt of the sweat that I tasted each night for years
Each morning I wake up to lose you no matter what I do
But the salt of the earth of me is…

Calmly watching every day go by
Sitting backwards on a train
Someday soon I will be back on my feet
But today I’ve got something to blame

The salt of the earth and the light of the sky
The asteroids in space are watching us die
But they don’t feel like I do
Hold you close the whole night through
And the salt of the earth of me is you
Is you
