Salt In My Coffee

© 2017 Mark Cote

got the words
knows what to say
dripping sweeter than honey
even today

moving around
nobody knows
thief in the night
stealing hearts as she goes

hey, when you slip
when you fall
if they knew they wouldn't help you at all

(chorus) salt in my heart and salt in my eyes
                     though you give me salt in my coffee
                     you give them sugar in their tea

can do no wrong
you're so sly
fooling even my family
you're living a lie

playing around
just for fun
you're halo's too bright
it's drowning the sun

hey, when you slip
when you fall
if they knew they wouldn't help you at all

(chorus)
(instrumental)
