lyrics

Calling the Rope Woman

There is no place beyond the reef.
No place beyond this ridge of grief.
No man to hold your corded hand,
Or lay with you upon the sand,
Come back, come back,
Where you belong.
We wove you raw from rope and spume,
We shaped you on the wreckers loom,
Come back, come back,
Where you belong.
What chance is there?
What chance for you?
Forlorn hopes,
Unravelled dreams,
Is all there is beyond the sea.
Come back, come back,
Where you belong.
Wreckers child,
Sirens count,
Woven list,
Deaths account.
Tapestry of abject grief,
Of men and ships lost on the reef.
A shapely list of mischief done,
A hanging rope for Adam's son,
Come back, come back,
Where you belong.
