Down the Burning Ropes - James Vincent McMorrow

Written by:James Vincent McMorrow

 

When the hills let go

Slowly fade into the water like some ancient lover

On a ship filled with ghosts

 

It's something to behold

 

When the paper thin girls

With twisting little braids in their hair

They take off their coats and throw pebbles and stones

From the side of the boat

Crying out

 

The stones they float

 

The stones they float

 

Oh my god

 

The stones they float

 

The stones they float

 

Down the burning ropes

Past the places where the steal beams meet concrete skies

You make your bed under the moonlight

 

I think it's time we said goodbye

 

'Cause nothing moves in the warm air

And words that once would cut like a knife

 

They just hang in the cloud and you're

Pushed by the lord

But you're pulled by the crowds and

 

You're overboard

 

You're overboard

 

Oh my god

 

She's overboard

 

My love she's overboard

 

She's overboard

 

My love she's over board

 

Not a shell unbroken

In the valley where my heartache and the timbers lay

It's not the time to be hanging around here

 

You know what some might say

 

That people get too reckless

That even with the simplest of crimes

They leave blood behind

As I clean the knife for the very last time

 

I think she knows

 

I think she knows

 

Oh my god

 

I think she knows

 

 

I think she knows
