Saltbreakers Lyrics - Laura Veirs

Serpent tails and flying fish 

sup up all the wishes 

that you sent to the stars 

Chinese dragons incandescent 

mirrors in the waves 

I want to put them in jars 

With my-y-y saltbreakers 

(ringing all the underwater, underwater, underwater bells) 

saltbreakers 

(look inside a space, look inside a space and you can tell) 

saltbreakers 

(what you need to sow, what you need to know by any means)

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You will not burn me up 

though I've dreamed nightly of your face 

and walked the streets of my life 

with your singing in my silent brain 

you cannot burn me up 

i'm a fallen leaf who keeps her green 

and don't forget I've got my 

trusty bag of oh-oh-oh 

saltbreakers 

(flashing in the night, crashing all around my eyes) 

saltbreakers 

(throwing me down turning on the fire flies) 

saltbreakers 

(the ebb and the flood, clearing all the channels of your heart) 

bleached by the dark 

oceans of clouds 

rainstorms of ash 

stars on the ground 

Photos 

all around my-y saltbreakers 

(floating like a butterfly singing like a bumblebee) 

saltbreakers 

(dashing alright, splashing and slumbering) 

saltbreakers 

(mirror to the serpentine stars)
