Saltbreakers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Serpent tails and flying fish
Sup up all the wishes
That you sent to the stars
Chinese dragons incandescent
Mirrors in the waves
I want to put them in jars
With my-y-y saltbreakers
(Ringing all the underwater
Underwater, underwater bells)
Saltbreakers
(Look inside a space
Look inside a space and you can tell)
Saltbreakers
(What you need to sow
What you need to know by any means)
You will not burn me up
Though I've dreamed nightly of your face
And walked the streets of my life
With your singing in my silent brain
You cannot burn me up
I'm a fallen leaf who keeps her green
And don't forget I've got my
Trusty bag of oh-oh-oh
Saltbreakers
(Flashing in the night
Crashing all around my eyes)
Saltbreakers
(Throwing me down
Turning on the fire flies)
Saltbreakers
(The ebb and the flood
Clearing all the channels
Of your heart)
Bleached by the dark
Oceans of clouds
Rainstorms of ash
Stars on the ground
All around my-y saltbreakers
(Floating like a butterfly
stinging like a bumblebee)
Saltbreakers
(Dashing alright, splashing
Oh, and slumbering)
Saltbreakers
(Mirror to the serpentine stars)
