Lyrics
The screen door's whine on Salt Grass Lane
Is the only song you've heard since May
While cicadas scream the sun away
I watch your porch light start to sway
[Chorus]
So let the salt preserve your little bones
And make you tougher than these river stones

So let the salt preserve your little bones
And make you tougher than these river stones
I'm praying to the god of broken homes
[Bridge]
Last Tuesday saw the taillights paint the moss
A final, burning line you had to cross
[Outro]
Let the salt preserve...
your little bones.
