Lyrics Salt - Tanya Donelly

Salt

Come out with me
In the salt of the blinding rain
Let it leave its trace in the pepper
Grays 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
You copy you paste you lose
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 tthat 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 tthat 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
