Before the Knife Lyrics by ROPE

Waters Rising - The Rope

2015

Run softly
Softly to me
Come softly
Tonight

I cry softly
Pretty baby
Before you
You draw the knife

Lie sweetly
Sweetly to me
Lie sweetly
Tonight

I come sweetly
Pretty baby
When I
Put up a fight

Cuz the world we love is all but dead and gone
Oh the fire there glows brighter than the sun
Oh nothing left there that we could hope to save
So go softly baby

Crawl sweetly
Sweetly to me
Cry sweetly
Tonight

I cry sweetly
Pretty baby
Before you
You draw the knife

Cuz the world we love is all but dead and gone
Oh the fire there glows brighter than the sun
Oh nothing left there that we could hope to save
So go softly baby

Cuz the world we love is all but dead and gone
Oh the fire there glows brighter that the sun
Oh nothing left there that we could hope to save
So go softly baby
