Tightrope - The Stone Roses

You should have been an angel

It would’ve suited you

My gold-leafed triptych angel

She knows just what to do In the half light of morning

In our world between the sheets

I swear I saw her angel wing

My vision was complete

And I know I’ll never want another lover my sweet

Can there be more in this world

Than the joy of just watching you sleep?

I don’t know just what to feel

Won’t someone tell me my love’s real?

Are we etched in stone

Or just scratched in the sand

Waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land?

Will the sun shine all sweetness and light

Burn us to a cinder

Our third stone satellite?

I’m on a tightrope baby nine miles high

Striding through the clouds

On my ribbon in the sky

I’m on a tightrope, baby, one thing I’ve found

I don’t know how to stop

And it’s a long, long, long

Long way down

She’s all that ever mattered

And all that ever will

My cup, it runneth over

I’ll never get my fill

The boats in the harbour slip from their chains

Head for new horizons

Let’s do the same

I’m on a tightrope baby nine miles high

Striding through the clouds

On my ribbon in the sky

I’m on a tightrope, baby, one thing I’ve found

I don’t know how to stop

And it’s a tightrope baby nine miles high

Striding through the clouds

On my ribbon in the sky

I’m on a tightrope, baby, one thing I’ve found

I don’t know how to stop

And it’s a long, long, long

Long way down

Long way down
