Suzanne Vega - Salt Water lyrics

Tide came in And then went out And left behind In hollow places Cradled once And cooling twice You feel the sting of Salt water Wave goes back And leaves the sand It's high and barren Dry and wasting Cradled once And cooling twice You feel the sting of Salt water Taste this It's really raw It comes with the skin And the sand still on it And it comes with the shell And the flesh within it You can tell that it came From a seedy and watery place Taste this It's really good It will make your mouth Feel like something's in it And it's gotten and given From a cold black piece of the sea From a piece of the sea Salt water (1991)
