Salt Lyrics - Swan Song Series - Tanya Donelly

Come out with me 

In the salt of the blinding rain 

Let it leave its trace in the pepper grace 

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 want to run too 

But I stay, feet in clay 

In the salt of the earth 

Tell me again we are safe from ruin 

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 that 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 ruin 

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 that kills the bug 

That we're the salt in the brine 

The tannin in the wine 

That 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
