Lady Lamb - Salt lyrics

See all the loners spinning
Towards the heavens
The steeplechasers got us looking
For the moon
And in this heaven the horror of it's absence
Has me trembling beside myself beside you

When tears stained my cheeks you
Kissed all but the salt
I suppose you didn’t see I
Can’t fault you for that
When your tongue licked the lash all
The salt had seeped through
And you would not believe I’d
Been crying over you

Some days I’m afraid I’m already mourning
Already mourning you
Some nights I’m convinced I’m already dead
In your arms I understand all at once
My life has been building me up to us
In your hands I am mine
You take me to myself
The tenses I knew now they bring me to you

I am yours I am yours you are my own
One kiss sucks the mud clear from my soul
The neon lights that fill your eye
Above Coney Island I could die
Tonight if I’m not
Already dead, already mourning

When tears stained my cheeks you
Kissed all but the salt
When your tongue licked the lash all
The salt had seeped through
Am I already mourning you?
