The Ocean Is Bleeding Salt

Strung out
Down in a hole
And the ocean is bleedin' salt
Down the mire
So I hid
As armies marched
But you found me all trembling, asleep
On your porch
And don’t you cry, my darlin'
Nashville is forgotten
Mama, and don’t you cry, my darlin'
New York is the ocean
Brooklyn
Quiet and cold
When the bars close
You’re stuck countin' cracks on the street
The war breaks
And you’re swingin' a gun
When the bomb drops
You’re stuck pickin' lead from your teeth
And don’t you cry, my darlin'
Nashville is forgotten
Mama, and don’t you cry, my darlin'
New York is the ocean
Strung out
Down in a hole
And the ocean is bleedin' salt
Down the mire
