What the Pillar of Salt Held Up Lyrics

The take-off makes no sound
It's high and far away
Your blue sky by the moon
It takes my breath awayWhy do you choose
What you choose to throw
Away into the undertow?
A happiness like we'll never knowYou can overcome
Your bitterness and pain
And you don't remember
How to start your life againYou were born to please
Born to put on a show
But you always run away
From a happiness like we'll never knowNo hiding place in all the sky
No camouflage to keep you warm at night
No clothes you got seem to keep out the wind or the rain
No way out from your shameThe take-off makes no sound
As you fly away
With that look on your face

That gives it all awaySecrets that the sea
Would never tell the soul
But where the current flows
A happiness like we'll never know
