The Rope

Here she comes like a ribbon 'round my neck She's the living, she's the dead She's a vision in my head All made up, like a dream inside a dream Everything, no in between The direction that I lean They say love is the rope that lets you go It's everything you never know It cuts your branches and you grow Oooh Here she comes with the weight of words she says Heavier than lead She's a bullet in my head In the dead of night she's awake and she's asleep Another promise I can't keep She's a river and I'm in too deep They say love is the shot that kills you cold It's everything you're never told It tries to break you til you fold It's the rope that lets you go It's everything you never know It cuts your branches and you grow Oooh
