Black rope tied

Chris & Carla


Concerning us 
Concerning you concerning him 
Never pity the fool 
See what's broken 
See the white branches 
Seeing what laughs 
What hurts 
These last chances 

Drink of choice 
Swig of love 
Let's finish first 
What we never begun 
Half-again 
And half-pretend 
Half for the stars 
Save half for the end 

I won't ever let you go 
I won't even try 
Hold this black rope close 
This black rope, won't untie 
Never as good 
As forgettin' to blame 
Nothin' squandered 
Surrendered or strayed 
The new and the useless 
Switchyard crash 
Faithless train 
Last chances - always last 

Concerning us 
Concerning you 
Concerning him 
Never pit' the fool 
See what's broken 
Branches snap 
One chance too many 
Last chances - always last 

I won't ever let you go 
Won't even try 
Hold this black rope close 
Hold this black rope tight 
I won't ever let you go 
Won't even try 
Hold this black rope close 
This black rope, won't untie
