Stornoway - Man On Wire lyrics

I had been planning For a winding line to take me to a coast of dreamers I was careering Just a flash of red running over railway sleepers Now I'm nearer you, I'm lifted to a higher plane Where the mainline is a slack line, and I'm balancing my weight Putting one foot then the other, a slow dance to the rising sun As I take a step from the ledge you keep me hanging on invisible threads In a solitary burning dream I've been suspended Right over your head In the growing space, here between our crowded buildings Like a figurine ? From a headline to a blank page and a silence on the airwaves I move one foot then the other and place my faith in the web you spun As I take a step from the ledge you keep me hanging on invisible threads In a solitary burning dream I've been suspended When the morning mist lifts away You'll see me reaching for invisible threads For a momentary burning dream I'll be remembered I put one foot then the other A slow dance to the rising sun I put one foot then the other A slow dance to the rising sun I put one foot then the other A slow dance to the rising sun I put one foot then the other A slow dance to the rising sun
