Rope Don't Break - Or, the Whale

Little woman sing til your light fades

Oak tree hugs your neck, the rope don’t break

She was once my love, left me her old guitar

Strings all busted up, I know she ain’t far

Little woman sing til your light fades

We jump from the hill, run into the dawn

Waking up slow, I know you’re not alone

You marked me like a scar, I’ll never let you go

This town is shrinking fast

How can I find a love that’s gonna last

I’m going south to earn my salt

Forget that she has gone into the past
