Salt Lyrics by Sinead O’Brien

Time Bend and Break the Bower

2022

Hopes are hard as rock here
As sacrificed in the name of heat
Hopes are all I've got pinned on diamonds
Search my body out before the sky comes down
Stretch my palms out to the farthest star
Burn my shoes in the sand
Soak myself in crystals
Preserve some of the music
I have a godlike desire
To lie down in the street
Let the waters of the gutters run right over me
Sky break opеn pour it down on me
I have a godlike dеsire
To turn a bag to the breeze
Freeze change the direction of the wind that moves me
For hewn the world ends
And when someone will sing the last song
Someone dreams of first hymn
When the world will spin again
What the song says to the sound
And the flame to the flower
Search my body out before the sky comes down
Stretch my palms out to the farthest stars
Burn my shoes in the sand
Soak myself in crystal preserve some of the music
Last living inch she does dancing near what the night says to the horizon
When will I meet you?
Bring the oceans down
Bring the skies to meet the ground
What the master to the keeper
Hopes are hard as rock here in the name of heat
I have a godlike desire
To lie down in the street
Let the waters of the gutters run right over me
Sky break open pour it down on me
But the godlike desire
To turn a bag to the breeze
Bring the oceans down
Bring the skies to meet the ground
For when the world ends
And someone will sing the last song
Someone dreams the first hymn
When the world will spin again
What the song says of the hour
And the flame to the flower
Stretch my body out before the sky comes down
Search my body out before the sky comes down
Stretch my palms out to the farthest stars
Burn my shoes in the sand
Soak myself in crystal preserve some of the music
