Geoff McKenzie - Salton Sea Lyrics

Friday comes with eyes ablaze
Burns a hole through Saturday
Sunday comes and goes so fast
Monday crawls on broken glass

I don't know why, but I can't leave
This shallow hole that was dug for me
This reservoir of dried out dreams
This town beside the Salton Sea

I kissed you under April stars
You loved me with a heart on fire
A young man's heart beats just as fast
And runs as quick as candle wax

I think sometimes on how we met
How love came, and how it went
I left you with a life caved in
Then you left me in the poison wind

She found me in the Bombay Bar
Didn't have to seach too far
Told me I'm some kind of father
The Salton Sea's some kind of water

I asked her to sit with me
She crossed her legs and sipped her tea
Looked around with your brown eyes
Nodded once and said goodbye

Friday comes with eyes ablaze
Burns a hole through Saturday
All around me things recede
Reminds me who I used to be
All around me things recede
In this town beside the Salton sea
