THE ROPE

Oh it feels so strange
it’s like there’s this rope around me
pretty soon something’s got to change
this darkness won’t let me be
Oh my dear friend
tell me, what do you see?
can you see this rope around me?

The days are getting colder
and the nights are getting long
I sit all alone by the fireside
I cry my tears so strong
Oh my dear friend
tell me, what do you see?
time’s getting short, there’s this rope around me

Oh my dear friend
hey my darling one
I’ll hold onto you, you hold onto me
we can shine like the sun

It’s so dark out on the water
but there’s a light by the shore
a boat is leaving on the next tide
I want to get on board
Oh my dear friend
won’t you come with me?
I’m cutting this rope around me.
