Salt on the Earth

Throw salt on the earth behind you

Pull the needles out of the rag doll

Be ready for life to find you

Erase the writing on the wall

 

Once broken, bruised and robbed of

Your state of mind and wanting more

Now on top of the world and part of

A land that no man has gone before

 

One day she stepped back

She stopped hanging on to

His silk rope of abuse

She let go of Danny DARVO

Not a lifeline but a tightening noose

 

The pebbles she bounced on the water

Caused a ripple she could not deny

A fresh breath of freedom had caught her

And shoved her man and his mistress aside

 

No amount of sage could cleanse her house

So she sold it, sold it

Their lack of backbone and apologies

Brought her closure, closed it

She left them rotting at the bottom

And let God and Karma solve it, solved it

 

Now she throws salt on the earth behind her

Pulls every needle out of the rag doll

She is ready for life to find her

Erased every writing from the wall

 

Once broken, bruised and robbed of

Her state of mind and wanting more

Now on top of the world and part of

A land no man has gone before
