Man On Wire - 27

On the roof

I am ready

To make my way

Over the alley

Not even the air can fill in the spaces

Every floor’s

Another story

No clouds below

Waiting for me

I’m just a man

On a wire

Short way across

But a long way down

Not even the air can fill in the spaces

Of the fine line between you and me

A high wire, trying to make my way to your side

But it goes on and on and on

From a bird’s eye I’m higher than the Empire

As I walk the line to your side

But it goes on and on and on

It’s where I’m meant to be, don’t slip away from me

It’s where I’m meant to be, don’t slip away from me

I’ll always be a man on wire

And here I’ll stay a step way

On the fine line between you and me

A high wire, trying to make my way to your side

But it goes on and on and on

From a bird’s eye I’m higher than the Empire

As I walk the line to your side

But it goes on and on and on

No sorcery, no sleight of hand

It’s just a wire and a man

Doing all he can

And it goes on and on and on

So long you live and high you fly

But only if you ride the sky

And balance on a wire

It goes on and on and on
