Salty Stones

[00:17.79] Something tipped the birdhouse crooked on the tree
[00:23.25] A sleepy head that's nodded off, spilling all the seeds
[00:32.31]
[00:34.47] And something shook the branches, heavy on the bough
[00:40.42] The sweetest fruits have tumbled
[00:43.58] Bruised and purple pits lay all around
[00:51.07] But me, I wait to hear you coming
[00:56.79] To hear your footsteps tap the ground
[01:02.31] And that's why I laid these salty stones down
[01:08.30] That's why I'm sitting here alone
[01:14.76]
[01:17.12] 'Cause love's an awful wind, you know
[01:20.09] It's been tearing through these trees
[01:23.36] With everything it promises, 'til it rakes me to my knees
[01:32.22]
[01:34.42] And the only thing that's steady as far as I can see
[01:40.23] Is a boat out on the water
[01:45.89]
[01:50.95] So if you float me up above all this debris
[01:57.00] You could purse your lips and blow away the fog
[02:02.61] You could speak to me in promises and lies
[02:08.04] You could say you'd never leave
[02:14.96]
[02:22.40] 'Cause I know I'll have to walk away, time's already told
[02:28.84] I marry myself to the ground, pressing up against my worried toes
[02:38.02] 'Cause something shook my branches, I was heavy on the bough
[02:46.17] The sweetest fruits have tumbled
[02:49.11] Bruised and purple pits lay all around
[02:56.63] But when at last I heard you coming
[03:02.42] I heard your footsteps tap the ground
[03:08.13] Well, I did taste your salty skin, love, I was gnawing at the bone
[03:22.31] Chase this love down
[03:27.94] Chase this love down
[03:30.78] Chase this love down
[03:32.90] Chase this love down
[03:36.48] Chase this love down
[03:42.18] Chase this love down
[03:47.65] Chase this love down
[03:53.34] Chase this love down
[03:59.09] Chase this love down
[04:08.94]
