Salt and Redemption

Look across the river at

The power plant sun stains

Purple makeup

Brushed on rusted steel and exhaust

Dissolve into yellow and cry

Thick honey on soft cheek

Sweet sweet salt

Rub it in deeper and shudder

Venus will still dance on the surface tonight

I will be a fisher (I will be a fisher)

I will be a man (I will be a man)

Redemption in the river (redemption in the river)

Let it sink into the land

Don't you think the dirt remembers? (you are the salt)

Corn as far as I can see (be the salt)

Covers ashes, stokes the embers (you are the salt of the earth)

Rubbing salt. Isn't it sweet?

Redemption in the river

Redemption in the sun (in the sun, in the sun)

Redemption flowing nearer

I can hear her as she runs

Redemption in the river

Redemption in the sun (in the sun, in the sun)

Redemption flowing nearer

Don't you see what she's begun

Sweet, (oh my) sweet salt (oh, Indiana)

Rub it in deeper and shudder

Be, be salt (oh, Indiana)

Venus will still dance on the surface tonight

Redemption in the river

Remember how it tastes (be)

Redemption growing clearer

I won't let it go to waste (be salt)

I will be a fisher

I will be a man (mmm sweet salt)

Redemption in the river

Let it sink into the land

Redemption in the river

Redemption in the sun

Redemption flowing nearer

I can hear her as she runs
