The Silent Comedy - Tightrope lyrics
[The Silent Comedy - Tightrope lyrics]
Bright with hope and oblivious
I could not keep my eyes closed
Now I know we are hideous
Grinning from ear to ear
Take me away from here like you said
And I will be grateful with what I have left
Dance in the aisle for me
And hold out your hand
And take me away my dear
I grew up in a lifeboat tied
To shore by the winter wind
I was made to be set afloat not
Star of the show ever glittering
In center ring, not a clue
Take me away from here like you said
And I will be grateful with what I have left
Dance in the aisle for me
And hold out your hand
And take me away my dear
I am not at the end though
I won't go at the peak or near
I will die in a foxhole
Arm to shoulder with atheist
Praying just, lord not here
Take me away from here like you said
And I will be grateful with what I have left
Dance in the aisle for me
And hold out your hand
And take me away my dear
