Verse

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 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,
Asus2 B5alt
Than the joy of just watching you sleep'
I don't know just what to feel,
Won't someone tell me my love is real' 

Instrumental

        

Verse

Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand,
Waiting for the waves to come and re-claim the land.
Will the sun shine, all sweetness and light,
Burn us to a cinder, our third stone satelite.

Chorus 1

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.

Instrumental

      

Verse

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, lets do the same.

Chorus 2

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,

Verse

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.
