Tightrope

You should have been an angel
It would have suited you
My gold leafed triptych angel
She knows just what to do
In the half light of morning
In our 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 you 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 sand,
Waiting for the waves to come in and
Re-claim the land
Will the sun shine 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 but 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 harbour
Slip from their chains
Head for new horisons,
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 but it's a

Tightrope baby nine miles high a long long long long way down
Striding through the clouds
On my ribbon in the sky
I'm on a tightrope baby, a long long long long way down
One thing I've found,
I don't know how to stop but it's a
A long long long long way down
