Tightrope 歌词

You should have been an angel It would've 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 the sand Waiting for the waves to come and reclaim 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 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 harbour 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 Long way down
