Salty & Sweet (Revisted) (feat. John Smith) letra

I'm a fishing girl
Just a lonely girl
The town in which I live
Is breaking water

I told my mother
My violent brother
All they give to me
Is reason to leave

Imagine my surprise
A pair of ancient eyes
Set into a face
As old as land

He stands in front of me
He came out of the sea
He says it hurts his skin
To touch the sand

He crawls back into the sea
The air is salty and sweet
A backward glance by way
Of invitation

I'm in now up to my knees
The air is salty and sweet
I'll leave my dress by way
Of explanation

My man don't care for clothes
The things he does not own
They never trouble him
Never give him grief

'Cause he's as soft as silk
As pure as baby milk
Harder than the earth
That he so scorns

He crawls back into the sea
The air is salty and sweet
A backward glance by way
Of invitation

I'm in now up to my knees
The air is salty and sweet
I'll leave my dress by way
Of explanation
