Now I've been at that
Coalface some time
I've been trying to untie that knot
I'm trying to work it to a soft spot
And lie there a while
Just south of her shoulder
And west of her spine
Now you'd think that I could
Untie that knot
I'm the one who put it there in
The first place
But it's like trying to remember
Where you've buried treasure
Well I've a vague idea
But it was under the pale moon light
And I was south of her shoulder
And west of her spine
Sometimes early in the morning
I watch her breathing rise and fall
I've spilled in drunk beside her
In the stillness of dawn
See how her hair spills over
Like frayed ends of twine
All wild and wrapped around her
Like these wandering arms of mine
Well I hope they find a soft spot
Where I can lie for a while
Just south of her shoulder
And west of her spine
Now careful not to wake her
I trace back along the twine
To where her never endings sing
Of too much of my time
It's here I'll rest my chin
And breathe her deep and smile
For I think I've found a soft spot
And I'll lie here a while
It's here I'll raise my flag
And claim this land as mine
Just south of her shoulder
She asked me to work on that knot Now I've been at that Coalface some time I've been trying to untie that knot I'm trying to work it to a soft spot And lie there a while Just south of her shoulder And west of her spine Now you'd think that I could Untie that knot I'm the one who put it there in The first place But it's like trying to remember Where you've buried treasure Well I've a vague idea But it was under the pale moon light And I was south of her shoulder And west of her spine Sometimes early in the morning I watch her breathing rise and fall I've spilled in drunk beside her In the stillness of dawn See how her hair spills over Like frayed ends of twine All wild and wrapped around her Like these wandering arms of mine Well I hope they find a soft spot Where I can lie for a while Just south of her shoulder And west of her spine Now careful not to wake her I trace back along the twine To where her never endings sing Of too much of my time It's here I'll rest my chin And breathe her deep and smile For I think I've found a soft spot And I'll lie here a while It's here I'll raise my flag And claim this land as mine Just south of her shoulder Explain Request ×
