Salt

I never go fishing without ever wishing

The catch might pull me in

And just when I'm thinking my whole world is shrinking

The big reel starts to spin

Oh your eyes shone like stars

Through the cold prison bars

Abroad with our babies, escaping from Hades

Like actors in a scene

Avoiding the warders who barked out their orders

Your face must not be seen

And I'm holding your hand

But I don't understand

I lick the salt from your skin

It tastes of someone within

Locked in a room no-one's been

Oh, won't you please let me in?

And I know there'll be pain

But not 'til tomorrow

And God knows, tomorrow may never come

Three doctors have cut you with bloody knives

But you just stand and walk away

But lying so near me, where no-one can hear me

You drown in what I say

And I want to get high

But you won't even try

I lick the salt from your skin

It tastes of someone within

Locked in a room no-one's been

Oh, won't you please let me in?

And I know there'll be pain

But not 'til tomorrow

And God knows, tomorrow

May never come

May never come

So won't you please let me in?

And I know there'll be pain

And here comes tomorrow

And I thought tomorrow

I thought tomorrow

Would never come
