Tightrope - The Silent Comedy

I was born on a tightrope, bright with hope and oblivious

I could not keep my eyes closed, now I know we are hideous

Grinning from ear to ear…

Take me away from here like you said

And I will be grateful with what I have left

Dance in the aisle for me and hold out your hand

And take me away my dear

I grew up in a lifeboat tied to shore by the winter wind

I was made to be set afloat not star of the show ever glittering

In center ring, not a clue…

Take me away from here like you said

And I will be grateful with what I have left

Dance in the aisle for me and hold out your hand

And take me away my dear

I am not at the end though, I won’t go at the peak or near

I will die in a foxhole, arm to shoulder with atheist

Praying just, lord not here…

Take me away from here like you said

And I will be grateful with what I have left

Dance in the aisle for me and hold out your hand

And take me away my dear
