Traces Of Salt

I'm a stone in your eye
Why won't you leave me be?
I'll never know what you see in me

I'm a stone on your shoulder
Why won't you lift me off?
I'll never know why you carry me on

Go on with the flow,
You're the river,
You're the boat,
I'm only the traces of salt
going down your throat

I'm alone in denial
Why won't you let me be?
I'll never know why you keep seeing me

I'm the poison in the vial
Why won't you pour me out?
I'll never know why you dwell in doubt

Go on with the flow,
You're the river,
You're the boat,
I'm only the traces of salt
going down your throat

Set your sails
Be gone from me
I'll watch you, stranded,
as you go
Steer away
Set yourself free
I'll grieve for you, stranded,
as you go

Go on with the flow,
You're the river,
You're the boat,
I'm only the traces of salt
going down your throat

  3. Thank you! It's actually one of my favourites, took a lot of time toying with the words to make it exactly what it turned out. :)
