Tightrope Lyrics by The Stone Roses

Tightrope Lyrics

    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
