Pink as a rose the sunset's fading Can you feel the darkness It surrounds the house Plain as the truth my breath is baited It pinches like a trap shut around the mouse Let down the rope 'cause we fell in Let down the rope Hanging round the wishing well It's a slippery slope And I let go Let go Of it Driving at night beside the river Look at it, it's going nowhere Dark as a room with the lights shot out I'm feeling round the walls For another way out Let down the rope cause we fell in Let down the rope Hanging round the wishing well It's a slippery slope And I let go Let go Of it Cross your fingers behind Your back and lie to me Tell me it's ok and you'll fix everything 'Cause I let go Pink as a rose the sun is fading Shattering the light on the oceanside Standing alone I am not waiting Maybe I'm asleep, my heart is paralyzed Let down the rope 'cause we fell in Let down the rope Hanging round the wishing well It's a slippery slope And I let go Let go Of it
