Salt Water

Salt Water
Tide came in and then went out
Left behind in hollow places
Cradled once and cooling twice
And 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
And 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 shell
And the flesh within it
You can tell that it came
From a seedy and watery place

Taste this
It'll do you 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
