Tightrope Lyrics - Stone Roses

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 mornin', 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 

Waitin' 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 

Stridin' 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 it, 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 harbor, slip from their chains 

Head for new horizons, lets do the same 

I'm on a tightrope baby, nine miles high 

Stridin' 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 

(Long, long, long, long way down) 

Striding through the clouds, on my ribbon in the sky 

I'm on a tightrope baby, one thing I've found 

(Long, long, long, long ) 

(Eeyayeyah) 

I don't know how to stop, and it's a 

(Eeyayeh) 

Long, long, long, long way down
