Chris Bathgate - Salt Year lyrics

Seventeen years before I should have hauled off and kissed her Now I lace my wine with ginger Just let my evenings pa** They pa** She's whistling in a candy store And I'm just screaming in the dark here I'm just choking down a salt year And sugar's all I've longed for I've longed for I've longed for Try again Try again I try again Seventeen and there she stood A photograph in my doorway And I felt all my light leave me My thoughts all tumbling under After that my days resign to static and gray hair and soft cry Like a cracked crystal second hand wine chime Just clanging for a lover I can love Try again
