blue rope from Blue Rope by United Wire

High above the river there was a viewpoint
It looked right down onto the banks where they drank (in) their last day in the sun
That day some of them skipped class to say 'goodbye' to small town boredom
For some of them it would be the last time they saw each other

There was blue rope around the suitcase
blue rope tied on the roof rack
blue rope all frayed and easy
blue rope all down the valley
this song's about blood rivers
and blue rope you used to give us

Some years later he threw stones with his brothers girlfriend from off the viewpoint
She was amazed how he reached the other side,
and even the tall pines trees on the far bank where they'd drank (in) their last day in the sun all those years ago

There was blue rope around the suitcase
blue rope tied on the roof rack
blue rope all frayed and easy
blue rope all down the valley
this song's about blood rivers
and blue rope you used to give us
