Out On The Ropes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's getting dark
The final arch of color goes dark
Remember when they were so hot it sparked
But now they are cold
When the nights grow long
And color looses all their glow
You can be the only hand
The only
Come and give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
To leave it all behind
Give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
There isn't any time
You told me so
Sometimes you seem so hard to find, so hard to leave
When I turn my head around and go to sleep
But through the cellar door, you come and throw me on the flow
Than I can hear all of those sounds I heard before
You come and give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
To leave it all behind
Give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
There isn't any time
You told me so
Come and give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
To leave it all behind
Give it to me
Tonight we go out on the ropes
There isn't any time
You told me so
Tonight we go out on the ropes
To leave it all behind
Give it to me
(You know you told me so
You told me so)
Tonight we go out on the ropes
There isn't any time
You told me so
