Like Salt Dissolving (Live at Suno Stadium, 1987)

V6-MINI

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] We built our world in the summer grass Carved our names in the polished glass Now the frost settles thick on the sill And the long road sits frozen and still [Verse 2] The tall stone wall turns cold and gray Bending the light at the end of the day Ghosts of our youth kick dust in the yard Holding their breath as the breathing gets hard [Chorus] Like salt dissolving in a warm sea tide All our winters wash away inside So far away across the widening bay (So far away) Where did we lose the daylight [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] You speak in a voice I barely know Watching the hour turn heavy and slow Time runs straight through an open hand Leaving two strangers on a shifting land [Verse 4] I turn my collar to the rising wind Knowing we won't walk this road again Two wayward souls fading out of sight Dissolving slow into the gray night [Chorus] Like salt dissolving in a warm sea tide All our winters wash away inside So far away across the widening bay (So far away) Where did we lose the daylight [Outro] [End]
