My salted love
Lyrics: Roeban Katz
Music: Theo Schmitt
HE WAS AT THE WATER SHORE
BY HIS SIDE, A SEA BIRD.
NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE
IN MY WORLD.
THE PAIN WAS SWEET
WHEN HE CRASHED INTO ME
OUT OF THE SEA.
IS IT THE WAY FOR TWO PEOPLE TO MEET ?
WE SAT ON A MELLOW BEACH
FOR A WHILE, READ MY HAND
FOLLOWED A LINE HE BREACHED
AT THE END.
I FOUGHT A BATTLE
WITH A SMALL WATER GUN.
WHEN ALL WAS DONE,
TO WIN HIS HEART, DID I LOSE MY CASTLE ?
OH, MY SALTED LOVE
WAS A WASTED LOVE,
I WAITED FOR THE PROMISE
OF A TEENAGE LOVE FOR US.
THE TRUTH WAS HARD TO FACE.
NO “YOU AND ME” TO EMBRACE,
OH, MY SALTED LOVE.
THE SALT ON MY TENDER LIPS
LEFT A BURN FROM THE START.
THE TEARS FOR HIS PHANTOM SHIPS
SANK MY HEART.
HE PRAISED THE MOON AND THE SAND.
HE WAS CRAZY ABOUT THE SEA,
NOT ABOUT ME.
WAS I IN LOVE WITH A MERMAN?
OH, MY SALTED LOVE
WAS A WASTED LOVE,
I WAITED FOR THE PROMISE
OF A TEENAGE LOVE FOR US.
THE TRUTH WAS HARD TO FACE.
NO “YOU AND ME” TO EMBRACE,
OH, MY SALTED LOVE.
OH, MY SALTED LOVE
WAS A WASTED LOVE,
I WAITED FOR THE PROMISE
OF A TEENAGE LOVE FOR US.
THE TRUTH WAS HARD TO FACE.
NO “YOU AND ME” TO EMBRACE,
OH, MY SALTED LOVE.
