salt of the sea

Singer:paula cole

i'm but a lover

i was a map for love

leaders or partners

they rule from all their thrones

give it a

give it a

give it a go

give it a

give it a go

i will relinquish

the kingdom and queen-ship

if you will have all of me

i am not peace

i am not ease

i am the salt of the sea

and if you want me

you have to love me

for all that i am

sensitively

i am a lover

that's all that i want to be

but though i'm a poor one

will you still have me?

give it a

give it a

give it a go

give it a

give it a go

i never wanted

this proclivity

to wear so much heart on my sleeve

i am not peace

i am not ease

i am the salt of the sea

and if you want me

then love all of me

for all that i am

sensitively

and i didn't hurt you

and i didn't fall

i'm just a reminder

of the truth and the known

i am not peace

i am not ease

i am the salt of the sea

and if you want me

then love me for of me

all of my sensitivity

i am not peace

i am not ease

i am the salt of the sea

and if you love me

then hold on to me

and love all the salt of the sea

give it a

give it a

give it a go

give it a

give it a go
