Holy Rope

Lookin' out in the yard For a stretch of grass soft enough to walk on with bare feet Past the patch of dirt Where it's mostly green summer's grass, those sprouting up in me You and I work sometimes On this old house making something into something else And when you have to go Is when I start figuring out how to be alone Hold out hope Cast me the holy rope I don't want to fall asleep And live an endless dream We make up little songs On the drive home from your mother's dinner Sunday night And I can hide away In the simple happiness we've carved out for today But moment's in between When the slowing of the clock lies heavier on me Ocean at my back When I wake up, then I'll know that dreams aren't meant to last Hold out hope Cast me the holy rope I don't want to fall asleep And live an endless dream Hold out hope Cast me the holy rope I don't want to fall asleep And live an endless dream I don't want to fall asleep And live an endless dream
