Man On Wire

Lyrics

I had been planning For a winding line to take me to a coast of dreamers I was careering Just a flash of red Running over railway sleepers Now i'm nearer you I'm lifted to a higher plane Where the main line is a slack line And i'm balancing my weight Putting one foot then the other, a slow dance to the rising sun As i take a step from the ledge You keep me hanging on invisible threads In a solitary burning dream I've been suspended Right over your head In the growing space here between our crowded buildings Like a figurine poised as the towers sway From a headline to a blank page and a silence of the airways I move one foot then the other and place my faith in the web you spun As I take a step from the ledge You keep me hanging on invisible threads In a solitary burning dream I've been suspended When the morning mist lifts away You see me reaching for invisible threads For a momentary burning dream I'll be remembered I put one foot then the other a slow dance to the rising sun I put one foot then the other a slow dance to the rising sun I put one foot then the other a slow dance to the rising sun I put one foot then the other a slow dance to the rising sun
