Tightrope - Lyrics by Hayward Justin (Moody Blues)


Lyrics
Yes I used to walk the highwire every night
Yes I used to walk the tightrope
But it got too tight
I walked the straight and narrow line
My head was spinning round
I worked without a safety net
But it was such a long way down
Yes I used to walk the highwire every night
Yes I used to walk the tightrope
But you need a head for heights
I walked the straight and narrow rope
My head was spinning round
I worked without a safety net
But it was such a long way down
Oh you might have seen us
If we came to your town
This game's made for heroes
And clowns
Not thinking about tomorrow
Living for today
I never left a note saying
I'm going away
Yes I used to walk the highwire every night
Yes I used to walk the tightrope
But it got too tight
I walked the straight and narrow line
My head was spinning round
I worked without a safety net
But it was such a long way down
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhh
Yes I used to walk the highwire every night
Yes I used to walk the tightrope
But it got too tight
I walked the straight and narrow line
My head was spinning round
I worked without a safety net
But it was such a long way down
Oh oh oh oh ohhhhhh(
Don't look down
Don't look down)
