Back To Salome Lyrics - Shawn Colvin

I'm going back to Salome 

Things could get ugly if I stay 

And I was just leaving anyway 

I could sink or swim 

But then again 

I could go back to Salome 

To be the champion of lost causes 

To be the cutter of the losses 

Or just to let sleeping dogs lay 

I might be worse for wear 

But darling, I don't care 

I'm going back to Salome 

To find a friend 

To find my way home again 

Dear Lord, please lead me not astray 

'Cause I could shoot to kill 

But better still 

I could go back to Salome 

To find a friend 

To find my way home again 

And if I die before today 

Then you can box my ass 

Be kindly when I pass 

And take me back to Salome
