Artist/Band: Richard Thompson
Lyrics for Song: Walking On A Wire
Lyrics for Album: Celtschmerz: Live Uk '98 [2012]



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
