Salt of the earth, my friend

It's all that we are in the end

Well, you tracked 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

And 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.
