Lyrics

Salt & the Sea

Train station, I know you all too well

Tainted in salutation

And i’m going back where I belong

With the salt and the sea and the stones

Save them all for me

Train station, I know you all too well

From the boarding we all came and fell

Into your room

The tracks raced beneath our feat

Through square windows, so clean

Well I could see them walking away

I belong with the salt and the sea and the stones

Save them all for me

As you lay sleeping on the cloth seat beside me

I stood awake there dreaming

Some other form to be

And the words you could say

That would always keep me near

Is stay..stay

I belong with the salt and the sea and the stones

Save them all for me
