Shawn Colvin - Back To Salome lyrics

rate me

I'm going back to Salome

Things could get ugly if I stay

And I was just leaving anyway

I could sink or swim

But then again

I could go back to Salome

To be the champion of lost causes

To be the cutter of the losses

Or just to let sleeping dogs lay

I might be worse for wear

But darling, I don't care

I'm going back to Salome

To find a friend

To find my way home again

Dear Lord, please lead me not astray

'Cause I could shoot to kill

But better still

I could go back to Salome

To find a friend

To find my way home again

And if I die before today

Then you can box my ass

Be kindly when I pass

And take me back to Salome
