Lyrics

Dancing on a Tightrope

something beautiful's dying
But what did we expect.
We've been dancing on a tightrop When we knew there was no net.
Moving in the spotlight
casting shadows on the wall
knowing from the first step,
we'd have to risk the fall.

Chorus : dancing on a tightrope
We keep the crowd beguiled
Harlequins in motion
With our painted smiles.

Verse 2 : when you first hear the music
It whispers like the wind
Distant yet familiar it comes from deep Within.
Then you're lifted to heaven
Where you're blinded by the light
It's hard to keep your balance
When you're dancing at that height.

Chorus: dancing on a tightrope
We keep the crowd beguiled
Harlequins in motion
With our painted smiles.


Bridge : still the heart of the matter
That's a matter of the heart
The memories won't leave you
Of how the dancing starts.
You remember cause you want to
Or because you can't forget
It really makes no difference
When the memories are all that's left.

Verse 3 : so if we can't dance as lovers
I hope we'll dance as friends
As we keep changing partners
Until the music ends.
And the steps become familiar
To this dance that lovers do,
But I never moved more gracefully
Than when I danced with you.
