lyrics

(a ferry horn, gulls scatter)
(wesh... écoute)

Mama steams couscous at noon
The windows weep, I'm leaving soon
I count the cranes down at the quay
They lift whole ships, can't carry me
(pas encore)

One bag, one prayer, one photograph
(une seule)
My father's laugh cut clean in half

Salt in my lungs, gold in my name
Salt in my lungs, salt in my lungs
The sea and me, we share the blame
Salt in my lungs, salt in my lungs
(eh... eh...)

My brother's scooter, one dead light
He rides it like the dark's polite
I send him kicks, I send him cash
He sends me voice notes, static, laughs
(inchallah)

Si je reviens, keep my chair
Same place, same sun, same salty air
(garde ma place)

Salt in my lungs, gold in my name
Salt in my lungs, salt in my lungs
The sea and me, we share the blame
Salt in my lungs, salt in my lungs
(eh... eh...)

(the ferry horn again)
(salt... in my lungs...)
