Sugar Cubes and Rock Salt Lyrics by Juliana Nash

Murder Ballad: A New Musical

2013

[MICHAEL]
Sugar cubes and rock salt
Poetry and insults
She is in this room, but far away
Philosophy and child's play
Blue sky days, black sky nights
Naked skin, covered fights
Thinking things I'll never say
It's just one of those days
Let me count the ways I love her
And then I'll count the ways I don't
I would do anything for her
Except for what I won't
Not much that I won't
Sugar cubes and rock salt
We ante up, then we default
The boredom that her eyes convey
Atheists who kneel and pray
Rising waves and ebbing tides
Holding hands on coaster rides
Black and white, mix to grey
There will be other days
Let me count the ways I love her
And then I'll count the ways I don't
I can say anything to her
Except for what I don't
Don't know why I don't
I wonder why I don't
Today, this kid, he came into my office
Wondering how to ask a girl out
Said she was the kind of pretty
To scare the words away
I said "Drop the briefcase, grab a cup of coffee
Talk Romantic poets."
Told him, "Read Elizabeth and John
Miss Barrett Browning and Keats live on
Their words are yours to build upon!"
I never asked Sara on a first date
Used to read Elizabeth and John
Used to talk so much before time wore on
Which one of us is the most withdrawn?
I try to speak like Keats wrote:
A thing of beauty, end quote
The words get stuck in my throat
Maybe some other day
There will be other days
Today is another day...
