Ropes Lyrics by Scott James

Shelter Island Heights

2016

[Verse 1]
The sun started falling
When you woke up
My feet weren't covered
When you started getting dressed

[Chorus]
Don't leave this town, my dear
Don't leave here for the day
I'm on the ropes again
I need you as I am
Oh
Oh

[Verse 2]
The oars start sinking
When you let go
To use your hands while speaking
Saying, "Don't ever let us float"

[Chorus]
Don't leave this town, my dear
Don't leave even for the day
I'm on the ropes again
I need you as I am
Oh

[Verse 3]
I must have caught your cold
I could not sleep at all
I'm hanging on the ropes
I need you as I'm close
