lyrics

Your hair is a rope
I climb in hope
Sublime
Tangled auburn rescue line
Belays me in harness over icy rocks to a mountain top
Where the wind blows strong
The country of our selves the view
A road a park a pub a tree a house
In the city’s south
Where we cook up plans of future mouths to feed

In your pocket
Make my home in your pocket
Safe and warm in your pocket
Bathed in morning light

You have become home to me
A place where I can rest my feet
You have become home to me

I will be the table legs
I’ll warm the cold side of the bed
I’ll bake you bread and give you head until your turn
Then you can be the table legs
For as long as I lack the strength
We will take the weight of this in turn

In my pocket
Make your home in my pocket
Safe from harm in my pocket
Unselfconsciously

I will be a home to you
A place where you can rest your feet
I will be a home to you

I will be the table legs
I’ll warm the cold side of the bed
I’ll be your flawed imperfect gent
Until your turn
Then you can be the table legs
For as long as I lack the strength
We will take the weight of this in turn

Your hair is a rope
I climb in hope
Sublime tangled auburn rescue line
Belays me in harness over icy rocks to a mountain top
Where the wind blows strong
The country of our selves the view
A road a park a pub a tree a house
In the city’s south
Where we cook up plans of future mouths to feed
