Salt and Sugar

We'd best bring down the curtain now
To hide away the moon
Restless, unrepentant, blue
And hold up in her room
Waltzing in a circle slow
With a bottle and a broom

Everything is salt and sugar now
Everything is salt and sugar now

We marry in the summer
Bury deep down in the fall
Bulbs that spark into the dark
Of a lost world under all
The one we think I'm moving
But never stops its crawl

Everything is salt and sugar now
Everything is salt and sugar now

One way or another
They will leave you less inclined
To speak the revelations
That have charged upon your mind
Nonetheless it will tumble
Free your mom to rival time

Everything is salt and sugar now
Everything is salt and sugar now

By and by, most of us try
To own up to our shame
Bring it to the table
Offer it our name
Then again we may walk its way
Build our home from whence it came

Everything is salt and sugar now
Everything is salt and sugar now

Everything is salt and sugar now
