Salt Water — текст песни (Suzanne Vega)

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

Its high and barren

Dry and wasting

Cradled once

And cooling twice

You feel the sting of





Salt water



Taste this

Its 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

Its really good

It will make your mouth

Feel like somethings in it

And its gotten and given

From a cold black piece of the sea





From a piece of the sea



Salt water



(1991)
