Tightrope

You should've been an angel, it would've suited you

My gold-leaf tryptic angel, she knows just what to do

In the half-light of morning, in a world between the sheets

I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete

And I know I'll never want another lover, my sweet

Can there be more in this world than the joy of just watching ya sleep?

I don't know just what to feel

Won't someone tell me my love's real?

Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand

Waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land?

Will the sunshine all sweetness and light

Burn us to a cinder, our third stone satellite?

I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high

Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky

I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found

I don't know how to stop

And it's a long, long, long, long way down

She's all that ever mattered and all that ever will

My cup, it runneth over, I'll never get my fill

The boats in the harbor slip from their chains

Head for new horizons, let's do the same

I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high

Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky

I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found

I don't know how to stop

And it's a tightrope, baby, nine miles high

Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky

I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found

I don't know how to stop

And it's a long, long, long, long way down
