Salt Candy Songtext
von Half Waif

One by one
They fall into the ocean
Brittle heads they populate the bay like stars
I was once a thousand other things
Now i′m not
I don't understand why

Mother, do you recognize your daughter?
Little head so full of big ideas that die
And i don′t want you to see i'm hurting
Maybe you already know why


I wanted to be carried in my mother's arms
I wanted to be buried in my mother′s arms
I wanted to be carried into the squall
Salt candy in your mouth when you know i′m gone

Once again
I let the current carry me
Moved from the woods to the brightest city streets
Made a home of chrome and everything around me a nest
Of rust and plasticine

I wanted to be carried in my mother's arms
I wanted to be buried in my mother′s arms
I wanted to be carried into the squall
Salt candy in your mouth when you know I'm gone
