Stone Roses - Tightrope Lyrics
You should have been an angel, it wouldve suited youMy gold-leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to doIn the half light of morning, in a world between the sheetsI swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was completeAnd I know Ill never want another lover, my sweetCan there be more in this world than theJoy of just watching you sleep?I dont know just what to feelWont someone tell me my loves real?Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sandWaiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land?Will the sun shine all sweetness and lightBurn us to a cinder, our third stone satellite?Im on a tightrope, baby, nine miles highStriding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the skyIm on a tightrope, one thing Ive foundI dont know how to stop, and its aLong, long, long, long way downShes all that ever mattered, and all that ever willMy cup, it runneth over, Ill never get my fillThe boats in the harbour, slip from their chainsHead for new horizons, lets do the sameIm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles highStriding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the skyIm on a tightrope, one thing Ive foundI dont know how to stop, and its a tightrope babyNine miles highStriding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the skyIm on a tightrope, one thing Ive foundI dont know how to stop, and its aLong, long, long, long way down
