lyrics

Don't leave me here, alone with the wine
While the salt haar is falling
Rolling in from the sea
So soft and dove grey,
You know I can be foolhardy.

I might have stepped on every toe
With the miles I ran and the deals I broke
But the feet that creep, my heart do keep
The hands that hold my secret soul.
Salt marks the time on my red petticoat
Till the night when we climb the slope of the globe
The sea will be black and we'll fly on our backs
In the eve of serene, my true love and me.
