Tightrope Lyrics - Justin Hayward

Yes I used to walk the highwire every night 

Yes I used to walk the tightrope 

But it got too tight. 

I walked the straight and narrow line 

My head was spinning round 

I worked without a safety net 

But it was such a long way down. 

Yes I used to walk the highwire every night 

Yes I used to walk the tightrope 

But you need a head for heights. 

I walked the straight and narrow rope 

My head was spinning round 

I worked without a safety net 

But it was such a long way down. 

Oh you might have seen us 

If we came to your town 

This game's made for heroes 

And clowns. 

Not thinking about tomorrow 

Living for today 

I never left a note saying 

I'm going away. 

I used to walk the highwire every night 

Oh I used to walk the tightrope 

But it got too tight. 

I walked the straight and narrow line 

My head was spinning round 

I worked without a safety net 

But it was such a long way down.
