lyrics

Salt of the Earth

Salt of the earth, sun moon and water
Woman and man, sons and daughters
Mountains so high, valleys so steep
That is my love
My home, castle and keep.

Once in a kingdom where I was a prince
They made me their king and I've ruled ever since.
My dungeons were empty
An abundance of gold
My people were happy
In mind, body and soul

I married a princess
A beauty above
then we had children that sprang from our love
We toiled and we tarried to guide them along
We gave them our wisdom, music, stories,and song.

Wood from the forest
Corn from the field
Year after year we brought in our yield
The bees they brought honey
The summer brought wine
The seasons passed quickly
And soon I'd used all my time

They'll build me a pyre
For out on the lake
They'll set it on fire and they'll push it away
Now I've realised that I have done right
And I'll close my eyes and sail into the night

Salt of the earth, sun moon and water
Woman and man, sons and daughters
Mountains so high, valleys so steep
That is my love
My home, castle and keep.
