Man On Wire Lyrics - Bonxie - Stornoway

I had been planning for a winding line to take me to a coast of dreamers. 

I was careering, just flash of red running over railway sleepers. 

Now I'm nearer you, I'm lifted to a higher plane, 

Where the mainline is a slack line, and I'm balancing my weight, 

Putting one foot then the other, a slow dance to the rising sun. 

As I take a step from the ledge, you keep me hanging on invisible threads, 

In a solitary burning dream I've been suspended. 

Right over your head... 

In the growing space here between our crowded buildings, 

From a headline to a blank page and a silence on the airwaves, 

I move one foot then the other and place my faith in the web you spun. 

As I take a step from the ledge you keep me hanging on invisible threads 

In a solitary burning dream I've been suspended. 

When the morning mist lifts away, 

You'll see me reaching for invisible threads, 

For a momentary burning dream I'll be remembered. 

I put one foot then the other 

a slow dance to the rising sun
