Salt in the Sea

Oh, when we stood
When we stood tall
Determined to conquer them all

We turned the tables
While they placed
Bricks in the wall

And oh, we'd got,
We'd got so far
Back from the times in the start
When I was your savior,
And you were the ground neath my feet

Right then,
The winter came
Creeping up to all our
Northern dreams
So I grabbed the keys
And we drove straight down
To the seas

Oh, and it took
It took so long
To learn all the words to their songs
And soon all the smiles we had earned
Were traded for frowns

While on the way
The way back to shore
Where you'd spend your days keeping score
I found a letter
That you'd left
Before you were gone

And it said to me
"The seasons have nothing to do
With our lonesome feelings"
Then I could see
The cold, crooked winter
Was me

Once I was young
Once I was free
Once I was you
And you were me
Now I'm just a sailor
And you're just
Salt in the sea
