lyrics
You came up the stairs with rain on your coat From Monastiraki, clutching that note Your mouth was dry from the ferry queue You said his name like it cut you through I watched the sugar in the teaspoon sink The clock by the sink kept losing its blink You traced a crack in the blue kitchen tile Then looked at me like you'd stay a while Salt on your tongue, salt on your tongue Say it once more, then let it run Salt on your tongue, salt on your tongue Truth in my mouth where it doesn't belong At Kallithea, the market was closed A cat on a crate with its ribs all exposed You held out the photo, bent at the edge I took it from you with a steady hand pledge The spoon hit the glass with a tiny ring Your words sat down like a broken ring I knew from your eyes, from the thread in your sleeve Some truths arrive and refuse to leave Salt on your tongue, salt on your tongue Say it once more, then let it run Salt on your tongue, salt on your tongue Truth in my mouth where it doesn't belong At seven sharp, the kettle screamed My old plate cracked where the cold light gleamed You didn't soften a single line You gave me the bruise and called it mine Salt on your tongue, salt on your tongue Say it once more, then let it run Salt on your tongue, salt on your tongue Truth in my mouth where it doesn't belong
