The Stone Roses

The Stone Roses - Tightrope lyrics

rate me

You 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
