Swan Arcade - Valerio lyrics

High up above the crowd The Great Valerio is walking The rope seems hung from cloud to cloud Time stands still while he is walking His eyes steady on the target His foot is sure upon the ropes Alone, peaceful as a mountain And certain as the mountain slope We falter at the sight We stumble in the mire Fools who think they see the light Prepare to balance on the wire And we learn to watch together We feed on what we see above Until our hearts turn like the seasons And we are acrobats of love How we wonder How we wonder Watching far below We would all be that great hero The Great Valerio Come all you upstart jugglers Are you really ready yet? Who will help the tightrope walker As he tumbles to the net? So come with me to see Valerio As he dances through the air And I'm your friend until you use me And then be sure I won't be there How we wonder How we wonder Watching far below We would all be that great hero The Great Valerio
