Lizz Wright - Salt Lyrics






How can you lose your song
When you have sung it for so long?
And how can you forget your dance, your dance
When that dance is all you ever had?

It must be, it must be true
You can't separate the two
Oh no, you can't
It's impossible to do
Just like the salt in the stew
Oh my, it's all a part of you

One thing that life cannot do
Life can't do it, no
It can't take your song from you

So when life brings a chance, a chance
For you to give your part, to give your part away
Don't just stand there feeling scared
Don't be afraid
'Cause there could be a treasure right there

Now listen, listen to the truth
It does not matter, doesn't matter what to do
Still gonna be you
Just like the salt in the stew
Yeah, it's all a part of you

And one thing, the one thing that life cannot do
Hey, hey, hey, can't do it no
It can't take your song from you

Life can't take it
You don't give it
Life can't take it

It can't take your song from you

    Got to be one of the very best singers in the world. I'm very surprised she isn't more well known. She's every bit as good, if not better than Melody Gardot and Diana Krall, but with more soul.

  2. L.... B....

    Zout op mijn huid. 😢

    G.... D....

    What a beautiful message of love, strength and fortitude to send her to sleep with. May she forever be brave!

    She said the right thing. Thanx Lizz, i just walked in the room you were singing, at The Northsea Jazz Festival in 2004 or 2005. Only one free chair and my wife said 'you sit down and i stand next to you". Right at that moment you started Salt. There was a silence in that big room and then these first six words. From that moment i had a fight, against my nose that started to walk. And then my eyes. It was a hot summernight and no sleeve to wipe my nose and eyes. Don't ask me how i did it, but i did it. What a song!

  27. D.... ....

    this is food for my mind , body and soul . . . .

  28. G.... T....

    Truth stated @DJDJANGO1 + a second sprinkling of a little 'b(lessing) attitude' via Leviticus 2:13, Matthew 5:3-16 and Colossians 4:5-6. P(e)ace all!

  29. D.... ....

    Lizz Wright is one of the greatest contemporary Jazz vocalists today. Sadly overlooked by the mainstream. This woman rarely gets her props. This uplifting Jazz song is her own composition and arrangement that sounds like a standard from back in the day!

    I have seen her live 5 times solo and with Dianne Reeves in the Nina Simone tribute concert: 'Sing The Truth.' Live Ms Wright is by far one of the most moving artists with haunting vocals that mess with your soul.

  30. t.... s....

    This is just an all around wonderful song and she's great too!!

  31. v.... ....

    Amazing!!!!
