I believe the answer is:
tears
'salty drops' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for tears that I've seen before include "Moves very quickly" , "Shed them and cry" , "Shed them in sadness" , "Water in eyes" , "Lacerations (before bedtime?)" .)
