lyrics

Thank you for coming today.
No one else I know can heal me this way
You traveled hill and dale
city by bus and city by rail
now you're back in her arms again
my own holy grail

I drink you in, salt water and cinnamon
I drink you in, salt water and cinnamon
the poison and the medicine

You carry what you carry is no business but yours
you conceal and feel safety and I pray you are
you carry what you carry grows heavier each time around
I pray for the day when we all may lay our arms to the ground

But until then, salt water and cinnamon
until then, the poison needs the medicine

I try to be brave in the face of all that could give
right out from under my feet you know, nothing is solid
I try to be brave in the face of all that could give
but I have been known to fall prey to my own
stompin' and cryin'

I drink it in, salt water and cinnamon,
I drink it in salter water and cinnamon
the poison needs her medicine

My body already known more than I ever did
hungry for truth she will fast in the face of falsehood
my body already knows more than I ever can
she's a giver and taker of untold joys and sufferings

I drink you in, salt water and cinnamon,
I drink you in, salt water and cinnamon
the poison, and the medicine
