Salt

As we walked into the desert

I remember I took your hand

And said “don’t look back, baby you’ll burn.”

As the miles passed out forever

I remember the look you gave me

It said “I’ve had my fun, now it’s your turn.”



And a pillar of salt tastes so good

And a pillar of salt tastes so sweet

And a pillar of salt tastes like heaven



I can’t get enough

Oh lover I could never leave



I met you in the city

You were working a club downtown

And you kissed my palm when I asked you for your name

You said, “I’ve been here since the beginning

I’ve been here since I was a girl

And I love the taste of cherry wine and rain.”



And a pillar of salt tastes so good

And a pillar of salt tastes so sweet

And a pillar of salt tastes like heaven
