High Wire (Stephen Fearing / Susan Crowe)
Every day I learn the ways of Gravity and time
Watch the world below me turn on a dime
Up where the crow flies straight down the line
Balancing my life on a high wire
When I was the acrobat, young and unafraid
The spotlight captured every move I made
Falling for glory day after day
Climbing the ladder to the high wire
Chorus
On a high wire, halfway gone to heaven
High above the everyday underneath the sky
On a high wire, all the upturned faces
Hang their expectations from a high wire
Instrumental. (Full verse?)
(Chorus )
Every night I dream the ways of patience and desire
Raking out the ashes from the fire
Reaching for mercy out of my mind
Under the moon up on a high wire
Chorus
