The Stone Roses - Tightrope lyrics
[The Stone Roses - Tightrope lyrics]
You should have been an angel
It would of 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 ah, put your head
It would of 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 ah, put your head
