Highwire

What's worthy of a fortune
What story's not been told
Some men sell their souls
For a pocket full of gold

So no goodbyes I love you
No roses at the door
You're this side of heaven
And I'm yours forevermore

When you move it's music
I see the magic and your flare
You're more than I imagined
Much more than I would dare

I'm hanging on a highwire
Running out of time
I'm livin' on a highwire
Walking down the line

Some things seem so simple
Have an ease of place
But now every page I turn
I always see you face

And I'll try to be romantic
End up feeling like a fool
I guess if she had any sense
She wouldn't be with me at all

When you move it's music
I see the magic and your flare
You're more than I imagined
Much more than I would dare

I'm hanging on a highwire
Running out of time
I'm livin' on a highwire
Walking down the line

I'm hanging on a highwire
Running out of time
I'm livin' on a highwire
Wishing you were mine

Now here's an angel resting
She's lying in my arms
And all the wildness that I have

She has an air that cools me, holds me, moves me
She has an air that calms

There's tooraloora I love you
It's in every Irish song
But will you stay forever
Or in the morning you'll be gone

So tell me there's a future
Give me some faith
Tell me there's some hope
And it's filled with love and grace

When you move it's music
I see the magic and your flare
You're more than I imagined
Much more than I would dare

I'm hanging on a highwire
Trying make you mine
I'm livin' on a highwire
Running out of time

I'm hanging on a highwire
Running out of time
I'm hanging on a highwire
Running down the line

I'm livin' on a highwire
Running out of time
I'm hanging on a highwire
Walking down the line

I'm livin' on a highwire
Running out of time
I'm hanging on a highwire
Wishing you were mine

I'm hanging on a highwire
Running out of time
I'm livin' on a highwire
Wishing you were mine

I'm hanging on a highwire
Running out of time
I'm livin' on a highwire
Wishing you were mine
