[00:19.48]You should have been an angel, it would've suited you
[00:31.76]My gold-leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do
[00:46.01]In the half light of morning, in a world between the sheets
[00:58.32]I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete
[01:12.53]And I know I'll never want another lover, my sweet
[01:22.63]Can there be more in this world than the joy of just watching you sleep?
[01:32.14]And I don't know just what to feel
[01:36.68]Won't someone tell me my love's real?
[01:48.33]Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand
[01:53.81]Waiting for the waves to come and reclaim the land?
[01:58.44]Will the sun shine all sweetness and light
[02:04.40]Burn us to a cinder, our third stone satellite?
[02:08.26]I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high
[02:14.25][03:07.94][03:26.03]Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky
[02:18.44]I'm on a tightrope, one thing I've found
[02:24.44][03:18.38][03:36.23]I don't know how to stop
[02:26.13][03:37.79]And it's a long, long, long, long way down
[02:42.37]She's all that ever mattered, and all that I ever will
[02:47.49]My cup, it runneth over, I'll never get my fill
[02:52.48]The boats in the harbour, slip from their chains
[02:57.78]Head for new horizons, let's do the same
[03:02.11]Im on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high
[03:12.23]I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found
[03:19.95]And it's a tightrope, baby, nine miles high
[03:30.26]I'm on a tightrope,baby, one thing I've found
