Stornoway - Man On Wire lyrics
[Stornoway - Man On Wire lyrics]
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 main line 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 poised as the towers sway
From a headline to a blank page
And a silence of the airways
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 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
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 main line 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 poised as the towers sway
From a headline to a blank page
And a silence of the airways
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 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
