Lyrics
Tightrope Walk
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
High above as in the clouds
They swing so slowly
To the wire showing no fear
They step so boldly
Gently faster
Building in momentum
Until success or disaster
Befalls the master
Of the tightrope walk
The dizzyingheights
The sound of your hearts
Like thunder
Measure your step
Or all your plans
May fall asunder
Now gently faster
Building in momentum
Until success or disaster
Befalls the master
Of the tightrope walk
The safety net is your psyche
The wire though imaginary
Yes its very real
So tread with care
On the tightrope walk
The tightrope walk
The tightrope walk
The tightrope walk
