[Verse 1]
Down by the harbourside
A boat is fastened by
A length of rope
It was a perfect match
Dreaming of escape
Feeling almost detached
[Bridge]
Look beneath the waves
The seabirds diving down into black water
[Verse 2]
The morning bells begin
Schoolchildren chant and spin
A length of rope
Below a hanging tree
Like cruel secrets some of us turn out to be
[Bridge]
Should our love increase
We are all released like statues from marble
[Verse 3]
While in a prison yard
They're taking turns to guard
A length of rope
Are you too weak to fight?
Picking up a thread and then stretching it tight
