Man on Wire Songtext
von Stornoway

I had been planning for a winding line to take me to a coast of dreamers.
I was careering, just 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,
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
