West Of Her Spine lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics West Of Her Spine lyrics She asked me to work on that knot Now I ve been at that Coalface some time I ve been trying to untie that knot I m trying to work it to a soft spot And lie there a while Just south of her shoulder And west of her spine Now you d think that I could Untie that knot I m the one who put it there in The first place But it s like trying to remember Where you ve buried treasure Well I ve a vague idea But it was under the pale moon light And I was south of her shoulder And west of her spine Sometimes early in the morning I watch her breathing rise and fall I ve spilled in drunk beside her In the stillness of dawn See how her hair spills over Like frayed ends of twine All wild and wrapped around her Like these wandering arms of mine Well I hope they find a soft spot Where I can lie for a while Just south of her shoulder And west of her spine Now careful not to wake her I trace back along the twine To where her never endings sing Of too much of my time It s here I ll rest my chin And breathe her deep and smile For I think I ve found a soft spot And I ll lie here a while It s here I ll raise my flag And claim this land as mine Just south of her shoulder song lyrics
