rock salt and nails (1975) - steve young lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
by the banks of the river where the waters run cold
and the wild birds warble a strange*soundin’ song
by the banks of the river where the willows grow old
it was there i first listened to the lies you told

[verse 2]
now i lay here each night all alone and i weep
and nothin’ ain’t worse than a night without sleep
hey, the letters you wrote me, they’re written in shame
but i know that your conscience still echoes my name

[verse 3]
if the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes
i’d lay for hours in the cold rainy marshes
if the ladies were squirrels with big bushy tails
i’d fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails
i’d fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails
