Rope



Elvis Costello - Rope - Текст песни

Down by the harbourside 
A boat is fastened by a length of rope. 
It was a perfect match, 
Dreaming of escape, 
Feeling almost detached. 
Look beneath the waves - 
The seabirds diving down into black water. 

The morning bells begin, 
Schoolchildren chant and spin. 
A length of rope 
Below a hanging tree, 
Like cruel secrets some of us turn out to be. 

Should our love increase, 
We are all released like statues from marble. 

While in a prison yard, 
They're taking turns to guard 
A length of rope. 
Are you too weak to fight? 
Picking up a thread and then stretching it tight. 

Look beneath the waves - 
The seabirds diving down into black water. 
Still our love increased, 
We are all released like statues from marble.
