My Salt Heart - Hue & Cry

I make you sweat to know the taste of me

Ain’t nothing sweet about the way that I feel

I’m necessary for you like a chemical

I am the bitterness that you know ever so well

You think I’m a rock but I’m a crumbling man

A few December tears would make the guy right into sand

Call me corrosive but the truth will out

And when we know the truth that’s what we have to be about

Right on the tip of your tongue

Just be finding my salt heart (my heart, my heart yeah)

We come together like stones

Just a-grinding my salt heart

(My salt heart)

I know my properties have limited use

But bring me together with you (baby baby) let me prove

A crucial element I will provide

I’ll give you so much honesty it’s gonna sting your eyes

Right on the tip of your tongue

Just be finding my salt heart (my heart, my heart yeah)

We come together like stones

Just a-grinding my salt heart

(My salt heart)

Right on the tip of your tongue

Be finding my salt heart

Somebody said once if you take the water out

A human body would be nothing but a pile of dirt

And dirt is what I have been before you tried

To bring me back together and make me unified yeah

Make you sweat to know the taste of me

Ain’t nothing sweet about the way that I feel baby

I’m necessary for you like a chemical

I am the bitter, bitterness that you know ever so well

Right on the tip of your tongue

Be finding my salt heart yeah

We come together like stones

Just a-grinding my salt heart, my heart, my heart yeah

Right on the tip of your tongue

Be finding my salt heart (that's my baby)

Come together, come together

Like my salt heart

I make you sweat to know the taste of me

Ain’t nothing sweet about the way that I feel

I’m necessary for you like a chemical

I am the bitter, bitterness that you know ever so well

Right on the tip of your tongue be finding, finding (my salt heart)

We come together like stones just a-grinding, grinding
