Tightrope (Album Version)

Tightrope - The Stone Roses (石玫瑰)

Written by：John Squire

You should have been an angel

It would've suited you

My gold leafed triptych angel

She knows just what to do

In the half light of morning

In a world between the sheets

I swear I saw her angel wing

My vision was complete

And I know I'll never want

Another lover my sweet

Can there be more in this world than the

Joy of just watching you sleep

I don't know just what to feel

Won't someone tell me my love's real

Are we etched in stone

Or just scratched in the sand

Waiting for the waves to come

And reclaim the land

Will the sun shine all sweetness and light

Burn us to a cinder

Our third stone satellite

I'm on a tightrope baby

Nine miles high

Striding through the clouds

On my ribbon in the sky

I'm on a tightrope baby

One thing I've found

I don't know how to stop and it's a

Long long long long way down

She's all that ever mattered

And all that ever will

My cup it runneth over

I'll never get my fill

The boats in the harbour

Slip from their chains

Head for new horizons

Let's do the same

I'm on a tightrope baby

Nine miles high

Striding through the clouds

On my ribbon in the sky

I'm on a tightrope baby

One thing I've found

I don't know how to stop

And it's a tightrope baby

Nine miles high

Striding through the clouds

On my ribbon in the sky

I'm on a tightrope baby

One thing I've found

I don't know how to stop and it's a

Long long long long way down
