Man on a wire, hovering Higher and higher Sway with the gentle breeze The rustling leafs that tell Of a sudden spell Is it for real? I keep hearing whispers in the distance It's cold up here but the air is clear With no love lot to set me free Mighty river's gonna carry me On a crumbling ledge I roam Mighty river's gonna carry me home This view from up high This vertigo One open eye Is all I could ever need to spot this bleeding heart This work of art, tell me it's real Cause I need a different view To something new, the horizon And you are two shades of blue With no love lot to set me free Mighty river's gonna carry me On a crumbling ledge I roam Mighty river's gonna carry me home Man on a wire, hovering Higher and higher Keep seeing shadows in the distance Stranger in town, I'm falling down With no love lot to set me free Mighty river's gonna carry me On a crumbling ledge I roam Mighty river's gonna carry me home With no love lot to set me free Mighty river's gonna carry me On a crumbling ledge I roam Mighty river's gonna carry me home
