Rope Don't Break

Little woman sing til your light fades
Oak tree hugs your neck, the rope don’t break
She was once my love, left me her old guitar
Strings all busted up, I know she ain’t far
Little woman sing til your light fades
We jump from the hill, run into the dawn
Waking up slow, I know you’re not alone
You marked me like a scar, I’ll never let you go
This town is shrinking fast
How can I find a love that’s gonna last
I’m going south to earn my salt
Forget that she has gone into the past
