[00:01.03]You should have been an angel, it wouldve suited you
[00:13.93]My gold-leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do
[00:29.41]In the half light of morning, in a world between the sheets
[00:43.46]I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete
[00:59.92]And I know Ill never want another lover, my sweet
[01:12.09]Can there be more in this world than the
[01:16.09]Joy of just watching you sleep?
[01:22.88]I dont know just what to feel
[01:29.07]Wont someone tell me my loves real?
[01:42.79]Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand
[01:49.35]Waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land?
[01:54.65]Will the sun shine all sweetness and light
[02:01.64]Burn us to a cinder, our third stone satellite?
[02:06.20]Im on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high
[02:13.00]Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky
[02:18.01]Im on a tightrope, one thing Ive found
[02:25.01]I dont know how to stop, and its a
[02:28.06]Long, long, long, long downway
[02:46.51]Shes all that ever mattered, and all that ever will
[02:51.25]My cup, it runneth over, Ill never get my fill
[02:58.49]The boats in the harbour, slip from their chains
[03:04.42]Head for new horizons, lets do the same
[03:09.41]Im on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high
[03:16.15]Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky
[03:21.14]Im on a tightrope, one thing Ive found
[03:28.20]I dont know how to stop, and its a tightrope baby
[03:34.12]Nine miles high
[03:36.87]Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky
[03:41.79]Im on a tightrope, one thing Ive found
[03:48.92]I dont know how to stop, its and a
[03:51.82]Long, long, long, long way down
