Between the saltmarsh and the sea

You come and go, but you, you can't resist me
You let yourself in and you climb up beside me
And build me up and you make me beautiful
You wash my hair and you, you feed my horses, you
You leave your shoes and you make your excuses
And go and you go and you make me thirst for you

And when I breathe, I will breathe you in
I will breathe you into my veins
And when you leave, you will leave me exposed
You will open me up to the birds and the rain

And when you are calm, you are blue and reflective, you
You trace my palm with your, your icy fingers
And catch the light and you make me beautiful
And when you're wild, you get under my skin, you rub
Salt in old wounds and you tear at my limbs, til you tire
And you go and you make me weep for you

And when I breathe, I will breathe you in
I will breathe you into my brain
And when you leave, you will leave me exposed
And the birds come and prey on my nerves

And you give some and you'll take away
In the moods that you can't control
And we'll drift apart and collide again
Cause our lives have been tied by the weight of a powerful force
There's a powerful force

When I breathe, I will breathe you in
I will breathe you deeply into my veins
And when you leave, you will leave me exposed
And the birds will descend on my nerves again
Again
