Emily Barker And The Red Clay Halo - Ropes lyrics

In the month of May Your past began to bust open its graves In the month of May And our love became A dance floor for your demons and mistakes Our love became And truth, it went the way of thieves It stole your soul from under our feet By the month of June I was tiptoeing 'round your gloom By the month of June So I took my light And I shone upon your hiding places bright With all my light But the woods were old and you were buried deep And I could not persuade the dark to leave My heart could not hold him any closer Nor bend any more than it did With ropes we set sail, in threads we land Thank you for the good times, damn you for the bad By the month of July Was when all my strength began to die By the month of July And the only thing I hadn't tried Was to pull your conscience close to me and cry That one I hadn't tried But my tears were like the dew in spring And to you they did not mean a thing My heart could not hold him any closer Nor bend any more than it did With ropes we set sail, in threads we land Thank you for the good times, damn you for the bad The month of August saw us Leave behind a love we swore we'd keep A love we'd keep And I can afford no hope But I do wish that you find yourself Through losing me And I will rave and flutter with a broken wing And mend me through this song I sing
