Salt of the earth, my friend It's all that we are in the end Well, you trapped down all the lines you drew And I can take the hit but I'm sorry, I don't want the bruise Your voice gets a little loud When there's nothing to talk about, you shout, dear And I'll find my lights fading out More and more by the hour It gets dark in here If you got time enough for me Sing me a song and send me to sleep Slip into my headspace while I dream Spin me a yarn, wrap it up around me Dust to dust, my friend Well, you're only blood and bones And I know your heart's at war with your head I am sure it hurt to see You're more than I'll ever have And more than I'll ever be I know it's a little late My timing was never great But I'm calling, dear I just wanted to let you know That I won't bother you anymore I'll be gone this time next year If you got time enough for me Sing me a song and send me to sleep Slip into my headspace while I dream Spin me a yarn, wrap it up around me If you got time enough for me Sing me a song and send me to sleep I never thought that a lie could sound so sweet Until you opened your mouth And you said you loved me
