Down by the harbourside. A boat is fastened by a length of rope.. It was a perfect match. Dreaming of escape. Feeling almost detached.. Look beneath the waves -. The seabirds diving down into black water.. The morning bells begin. Schoolchildren chant and spin.. A length of rope. Below a hanging tree. Like cruel secrets some of us turn out to be.. Should our love increase. We are all released like statues from marble.. While in a prison yard. They're taking turns to guard. A length of rope.. Are you too weak to fight?. Picking up a thread and then stretching it tight.. Look beneath the waves -. The seabirds diving down into black water.. Still our love increased.
