Man on Wire

I had been planning
For a winding line to take me to a coast of dreamers
I was careering
Just a flash of red running over railway sleepers
Now I’m nearer you, I’m lifted to a higher plane
Where the mainline is a slack line, and I’m balancing my weight
Putting one foot then the other, a slow dance to the rising sun
As I take a step from the ledge you keep me hanging on invisible threads
In a solitary burning dream I’ve been suspended
Right over your head
In the growing space, here between our crowded buildings
Like a figurine?
From a headline to a blank page and a silence on the airwaves
I move one foot then the other and place my faith in the web you spun
As I take a step from the ledge you keep me hanging on invisible threads
In a solitary burning dream I’ve been suspended
When the morning mist lifts away
You’ll see me reaching for invisible threads
For a momentary burning dream I’ll be remembered
I put one foot then the other
A slow dance to the rising sun
I put one foot then the other
A slow dance to the rising sun
I put one foot then the other
A slow dance to the rising sun
I put one foot then the other
A slow dance to the rising sun
