Salt of the earth my friend
It's all that we are in the end
Well you tracked down all the lines you drew
And I can take the hit but I'm sorry
I don't want the bruise
Your voice gets a little loud
When there's nothing to talk about you shout dear
And I'll find my lights fading out
More and more by the hour
It gets dark in here
If you got time enough for me
Sing me a song and send me to sleep
Slip into my headspace while I dream
Spin me a yarn wrap it up around me
Dust to dust my friend
Well you're only blood and bones
And I know your heart's at war with your head
I am sure it hurt to see
You're more than I'll ever have
And more than I'll ever be
I know it's a little late
My timing was never great
But I'm calling dear
I just wanted to let you know
That I won't bother you anymore
I'll be gone this time next year
If you got time enough for me
Sing me a song and send me to sleep
Slip into my headspace while I dream
Spin me a yarn wrap it up around me
If you got time enough for me
Sing me a song and send me to sleep
I never thought that a lie could sound so sweet
Until you opened your mouth
And you said you loved me
