Salvation Lyrics

You come in the evening to lay your head down

Away from the boys and the talk of the town

You come for the leaving, you leave to be found

In the light of the morning you head for the sound

Little songbirds sing of a world up above

Something out of reach, still you're trying to jump high

I don't want to be your peace of mind

Stopping the gaps and holding the line

I want you to worry, I want you to pine

To fill you with something you can't leave behind

Don't you come to me if you're running away

Traveller's heart will leave any home that it stays in

Come to stay, gonna work these fields

Gonna pray for rain, break your back for the real love

A salve is a salvation

A salve is a salvation

A salve is a salvation

But you only need to save in once

There's something about those men of the sea

You said that's what you've always wanted to be

Hoisting the sails and touching the breeze

So what are you doing down here with me

With a dream in your head and your head in my arms

You can sail towards the sun till you wake in the darkness

Come and go, go and come back again

I can't hold my breath for so long my friend, no

A salve is a salvation

A salve is a salvation

A salve is a salvation

But you only need to save in once

Now that you're gone, it all feels wrong. Like I'm missing a piece of my mind

Did you have it the whole time

Or did you steal it away while I slept by your side

Hold me tight

Didn't know about the hole in my heart till you left it open wide

Aching and looking for some kind of self to apply
