Saltbreakers
Laura Veirs
Serpent tails and flying fish
Sup up all the wishes
That you sent to the stars
Chinese dragons incandescent
Mirrors in the waves
I want to put them in jars
With my-y-y saltbreakers
Ringing all the underwater
Underwater, underwater bells
Saltbreakers
Look inside a space
Look inside a space and you can tell
Saltbreakers
What you need to sow
What you need to know by any means
You will not burn me up
Though I've dreamed nightly of your face
And walk the streets of my life
With your singing in my silent brain
You cannot burn me up
I'm a falling leaf who keeps her green
And don't forget I've got my
Trusty bag of oh-oh-oh
Saltbreakers
Flashing in the night
Flashing all around my arms
Saltbreakers
Throwing me down
Turning on the fireflies
Saltbreakers
The ebb and the flood
Clearing all the channels of your heart
Bleached by the dark
Oceans of clouds
Rainstorms of ash
Stars on the ground
All around my-y-y saltbreakers
Floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bumblebee
Saltbreakers
Dashing alright, splashing
O and slumbering
Saltbreakers
Mirror to the serpentine stars
