Lyrics

When I left Colorado
The snow
Was falling down
The cold was clinging to my clothes
When they called me outta town
Lost dad in October
Glenn in July
Momma's soon to join 'em
In the soil and the sky

Headed home to be with her all the way
And that sad day she's gone
I'm headed west to stay

Then it's
Sweat, tears and the sea
Salt water for me
Sweat, tears and the sea
When it's healing time
Got to get some healing time
Healing time

A hard head helps the healing
But it causes half the pain
I met my true love too late
Or she don't feel the same
Neither father nor son now
Don't know I'm past my prime
I'm marching through flurries of heartache
I fail to fit in rhyme

Headed home to be with her all the way
And that sad day she's gone
I'm headed west to stay

Then it's
Sweat, tears and the sea
Salt water for me
Sweat, tears and the sea
When it's healing time
Got to get some healing time
Healing time

Life has it's seasons
Been winter way too long
Open up my pores
Been too long being strong
Sweat out the poisons
Eating me from inside
Heal me in salt water
Under sunny skies

Sweat, tears and the sea
Salt water for me
Sweat, tears and the sea
When it's healing time
Got to get some healing time
Healing time
Healing time
Healing time
Healing time
Healing time
