Walking On A Wire Lyrics - Richard Thompson

I hand you my ball and chain 

You just hand me that same old refrain 

I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire 

And I'm falling 

I wish I could please you tonight 

My medicine just won't come right 

I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire 

And I'm falling 

Too many steps to take 

Too many spells to break 

Too many nights awake 

And no one else 

This grindstone's wearing me 

Your claws are tearing me 

Don't use me endlessly 

It's too long, too long to myself

Where's the justice, where's the sense? 

When all the pain is on my side of the fence 

I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire 

And I'm falling 

Too many steps to take 

Too many spells to break 

Too many nights awake 

And no one else, ohh 

This grindstone's wearing me 

Your claws are tearing me 

Don't use me endlessly 

It's too long, too long to myself 

Ohh, it scares you when you don't know 

Whichever way the wind might blow 

Ohh, I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire 

And I'm falling

I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire 

And I'm falling 

I'm walking on a wire, I'm walking on a wire 

And I'm falling, ohh
