by Gregory Alan Isakov

on Salt And The Sea (2021), songs for October (2005), That Sea, The Gambler (2007)

train station, i know you all too well
tainted in salutation
and i'm going back where i belong
with the salt and the sea and the stones
save them all for me

train station, i know you all too well
from the boarding we all came and fell
into your room
the tracks raced beneath our feat
through square windows, so clean
well i could see them walking away

i belong with the salt and the sea and the stones
save them all for me.

as you lay sleeping on the cloth seat beside me
i stood awake there dreaming
some other form to be

and the words you could say
that would always keep me near
is stay..stay

i belong with the salt and the sea and the stones
save them all for me.
