Not Look Down - Dougie MacLean

From up here she said there’s no compromise

I’ve seen them laughing and they’re in up to their eyes

And all their clever words are whistling in the wind

Whistling in the wind

«From up here» she said «you get the widest view

Someone’s watching no matter what you do And if you hesitate they steal away your time

Steal away your time»

You must not look down, you must not look down

Watch them fall and you’re sure to follow

You must not look down

You must not look down, you must not look down

Their hands are full and their hearts are hollow

You must not look down

«Yours is mine» he said «and mine belongs to me That’s just the way» he said «it's clear you cannot see

That you are lost and it’s each one for his own

Each one for his own»

She said «I'm strong I know I’ll make the climb

And many others are coming up behind

And soon the child will make the clearer day

Make the clearer day»

You must not look down, you must not look down

Watch them fall and you’re sure to follow

You must not look down

You must not look down, you must not look down

Their hands are full and their hearts are hollow

You must not look down
