You know, she killed me.
Took me down to the sea, and killed me.

Don't know why it happened.
We used to go there, me and my mum, but she--
Like when you light a match, a click, and she was on fire.

We used to build castles down there, whole empires.
We placed the crabs as guardians and tiny little birds come and visit.

She pulled my hair, and dragged me into the sea.
Don't know why she did it.
While she did it she sang like a violin, like a violin.

My name is Salt.
I'm the reason there is salt in the sea.
And I'm the reason there is salt in your tears.
That's how I come back.
Like boiling water, everything will evaporate.
Dissolve and disappear.
I'll be there as a taste on your cheek,
So you can remember those that are gone.
