Salt In The Snow

(Album: The Silver Cord - 2008)

Give me wings, give me peace
These are the things that I need
I'm tormented, broken, and chained
Are you listening?
(Are you listening?)

Give me shelter from the storm,
I know it's a lot to ask for,
Considering how recent
I've piled the dirt on your name.
Are you listening?
(Are you listening?)
Are you listening?

I have heard that winter's cold,
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no, like salt in the snow,
I'm melted and left all alone,
On the side of the road.

Is this where I am for your sake?
Stuck between sleep and awake?
My mind is dreaming of things,
Are you listening?
(Are you listening?)

I took you for granted again,
And threw you aside and pretended
For one minute that I had control
Of my life, and direction.
It seemed to be in.
I was wrong again.
(I was wrong again.)
Are you listening?

I have heard that winter's cold,
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no, like salt in the snow,
I'm melted and left all alone,
On the side of the road.

And I will wait for you to come again,
And I can't pretend like I'm confident
And I can't pretend like it makes much sense
When it doesn't.

I have heard that winter's cold,
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no, like salt in the snow,
I'm melted and left all alone,
On the side of the road.

On the side of the road.
On the side of the road.
On the side of the road.
On the side of the road.

I have heard that winter's cold,
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no, like salt in the snow,
I'm melted and left all alone,
On the side of the road.

I have heard that winter's cold,
Will give way to summer's warmth
Oh no, like salt in the snow,
I'm melted and left all alone,
On the side of the road.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
