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
