What The Pillar Of Salt Held Up

The take-off makes no sound

It's high and far away

Your blue sky by the moon

It takes my breath away



Why do you choose

What you choose to throw away into the undertow

A happiness like we'll never know



You can overcome your bitterness and pain

And you don't remember how

To start your life again



You were born to please

Born to put on a show

But you always run away

From a happiness like we'll never know



No hiding place in all the sky

No camouflage to keep you warm at night

No clothes you got seem to keep out the wind or the rain

No way out from your shame



The take-off makes no sound

As you fly away with that look on your face

That gives it all away



Secrets that the sea would never tell the soul

But where the current flows

A happiness like we'll never know
