The Stone Roses - Tightrope lyrics
rate meYou should have been an angel, it would've suited you<br />
My gold-leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do<br />
In the half light of morning, in a world between the sheets<br />
I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete<br />
<br />
And I know I'll never want another lover, my sweet<br />
Can there be more in this world than the<br />
joy of just watching you sleep?<br />
I don't know just what to feel<br />
Won't someone tell me my love's real?<br />
<br />
Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand<br />
Waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land?<br />
Will the sun shine all sweetness and light<br />
Burn us to a cinder, our third stone satellite?<br />
I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high<br />
Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky<br />
I'm on a tightrope, one thing I've found<br />
I don't know how to stop, and it's a<br />
long, long, long, long way down<br />
<br />
She's all that ever mattered, and all that ever will<br />
My cup, it runneth over, I'll never get my fill<br />
The boats in the harbour, slip from their chains<br />
Head for new horizons, let's do the same<br />
I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high<br />
Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky<br />
I'm on a tightrope, one thing I've found<br />
I don't know how to stop, and it's a tightrope baby<br />
nine miles high<br />
Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky<br />
I'm on a tightrope, one thing I've found<br />
I don't know how to stop, and it's a<br />
long, long, long, long way down
<br />
