Salt and the Sea

One, two, three, four

Could it be I was the one

That you held so deep in the night?

On the back staircase

You fell to your knees with tears in your eyes

All that you suffered, all the disease

You couldn't hide it, hide it from me

All alone, scared in your room

Would you swear there's nobody home?

On the bed, laying awake

As you prayed he'd leave you alone

I'll let the darkness swallow me whole

I need to find you, need you to know

I'll be your friend in the daylight again

There we will be, like an old enemy

Like the salt and the sea

And they wrote all these prescriptions

They wrote me off like a heel

Yeah, the doctors with their medicine

Left me to rock in my filth

From the destruction, out of the flame

You need a villain, give me a name

I'll be your friend in the daylight again

There we will be, like an old enemy

I'll be your friend in the daylight again

There we will be, like an old enemy

Like the salt and the sea

Like the salt and the sea
