BETA FASHION - Salt And Pepper Lyrics

You stand alone beneath the city lights
A cat perched upon your shoulder high
The cars rush by like ever-fleeting kites
You watch the world and breathe a sigh

Your hair once black now salt and pepper
Each silver strand a verse an own poem
The flavors change you remain the keeper
Of memories seasoned with a touch of home

We're all someway salt and pepper
Longing for a world that was better
From windows high they see you there
A lonely silhouette against the glare

They young eyes are locked on their cells
People wait for phones to ring and thrill
They miss the song the silent city tells
The hidden beauty standing oh so still

You drift through crowds yet feel frustration
An island in a sea that doesn't care
The world speeds up you're in hesitation
A shadow yearning just to share the air

We're all someway salt and pepper
Longing for a world that was better
From windows high they see you there
A lonely silhouette against the glare

The chains of time around you tighten
Society's constraints begin to weigh
In your heart old memories enlighten
A spark of hope to guide you on your way

The chains of time around you tighten
Society's constraints begin to weigh
In your heart old memories enlighten
A spark of hope to guide you on your way
