Lyrics
I worked my fingers to the bone
Fingers to bone, skin to stone
Trying to please you alone
I shoveled and cursed, I shoveled black earth
The sweat and the dirt only deepened my thirst
For you alone
Salt, salt water
Tobacco guitar, nicotine dark
Tobacco guitar, red wine, cigar
Only cotton between white sails, white sheets
No cotton between two bodies come clean
For the salt, salt water
I saw the heavy night fall
Every star fall
I heard them all in a cry, in a call
Waning moon down to a sliver
She dances alone, a candle flicker
On the salt, salt water
Salt, salt water
What good is water you can't drink?
What good is love you can't hold?
Stare all you want out to sea
Salt water pours through the cracks in your soul
What good is love you cannot hold?
I wrote an ocean of ink
To keep at bay oceans of ink
And what can words say?
Some letters don't burn
Some lessons don't learn
Oceans of ink have already been spilled
On this kind of love
On this kind of thrill
