Salt In Her Mouth

[Verso 1]
 
Dm 
She kept the salt behind her teeth 
Dm 
And slept with open eyes. 
Dm 
The candle burned until it wept 
Dm 
And flickered with her lies. 
F 
A whisper wrapped in gold and linen thread 
C 
Was tucked beneath her tongue. 
Dm 
They found her mouth was full of sea 
Dm 
But they never said which one. 
C 
Her mother wrote a name in ash. 
Dm                  E 
But it  was not her own. 
F 
Her shadow stayed, but she was gone 
C                   Am 
And all the mirrors moaned. 
Dm
