Between the Saltmarsh and the Sea

You come and go, but you can't resist me,
You let yourself in and you climb up beside me
And build me up and you make me beautiful.
You wash my hair and you, you feed my horses you,
You leave your shoes and you make your excuses and
Go and you go and you make me thirst for you.
And when I breathe, I will breathe you in,
I will breathe you into my veins.
And when you leave, you will leave me exposed.
You will open me up to the birds and the rain.
And when you are calm you are blue and reflective, you
You trace my palm with your icy fingers and
Catch the light and you make me beautiful.
And when you're wild you get under my skin, you rub
Salt in old wounds and you tear at my limbs,
til you tire and you go and you make me weep for you.
And when I breathe, I will breathe you in,
I will breathe you into my brain.
And when you leave, you will leave me exposed.
And the birds come and prey on my nerves
And you give some and you'll take away,
In the moods that you can't control.
And we'll drift apart and collide again,
Cos our lives have been tied by the weight of a powerful force.
There's a powerful force.
When I breathe, I will breathe you in,
I will breathe you deeply into my veins.
And when you leave, you will leave me exposed.
And the birds will descend on my nerves again.
