Cinching Up The Rope Lyrics

Deal your last hand

You’ve got nowhere to go now you’re gone

There’s a flashlight beam, atop a small city mountain

There’s some people partying up there

And you’re just a lonesome viewer

Watching from the greatest distance

Never reaching for the missing

The pieces that turned to dust

They’re all just flying in the wind

And your family and your kin

Keep cinching up the rope around your neck

And that time that you ran,

You probably should have never come back

Things have only gotten weirder

And the way you feel is mirrored

By every sad soul that you pass by on the street

So don’t over-do it, there’s lots of life to live,

So just plow through it

If a door slams, just open another

Don’t blame the sister for the faults of the mother

Think I read that in the bible,

Or maybe on the side of a bus

So when there’s no one left but us

We’ll be all we have to trust
