Lyrics
Let me share my salt with you, let me share my salt
Let me share my salt with you, let me share my salt
Are you worth your salt?
I am worth my salt
Are you worth your slat?
I am worth more than my salt
I share my lyre, my salt with you
I will share my lyre and salt with you
I come to you
with my lyre and my salt
For I must beg your advice
For I beg for my love’s life back
Hear you know her heart’s cry too?
I traded salt for secret mist
to pass the heads of three
Lyre’s veil slows breath to slumber
Mercurial glow made fire
to waltz around,
diverting keen eyes
A lyre’s note,
like fireworks,
penetrates to detain common sense
They could not call!
A whispered ear attempts persuasion by mirror of his love for her
He thinks on this
Which way to let the lever drop
Which way to let the lever drop
Which way to let the lever drop
Which way to let the lever drop…
Don’t you know which way to let it drop?
I see you love as I do
Please I beg you
Look ahead not behind
Look ahead not behind
Look ahead not behind
Look ahead not behind…
On the fulcrum of death and return from it,
On hinge of safety and sure failure
I stand
I stand
But for a moment I looked back
But for a moment I fall
Landing out of
Landing out of
salt
