Hannah Epperson - Blackout lyrics

Rope tie a rope from the barn to the farmhouse Follow that rope through the blinding snow Rope tie a rope leave the bread by the road Or the dark dark stranger will be knocking at the door Rope tie a rope from the F to the C# D# G# - rope tie a rope Rope tie a rope from the silent picture To the organ player who is sitting in the dark Blackout, dust-bowl, miles of nothing Brand new theatre, armoury, parlour Blackout memory, children swimming Fields are flooding, mother is singing Rope tie a rope from the youngest sibling To the eldest living in the mother country Rope tie a rope - they are weeks on a boat God bless that ship, the Aquatania Rope tie a rope from the last word written To the first word spoken on his safe return Rope tie a rope from yourself to your neighbour Streetlight's gone and the moon is waning Blackout bicycle, midnight riders Your hands fixing Halifax bombers Blackout telegram, short-hand lovers Stay indoors and stoke the home fires
