A high-wire act above the center ring
While the audience is wondering
If we'll make it back
Two people up on a wire
Overhead and under fire
While the audience inquire
If it's just a knack
Strangers, after all, we find we're strangers
After all this time
We've made the long and the lonely climb
And now we've reached the part
Where we find we're strangers
We were strangers from the start
Two people caught in the tide
On the edge of love and pride
And both afraid to approach the side
And fall again
Two people playing the part
But which is life and which is art
And isn't it a little late
To start it all again
Two people caught on a string A high-wire act above the center ring While the audience is wondering If we'll make it back Two people up on a wire Overhead and under fire While the audience inquire If it's just a knack Strangers, after all, we find we're strangers After all this time We've made the long and the lonely climb And now we've reached the part Where we find we're strangers We were strangers from the start Two people caught in the tide On the edge of love and pride And both afraid to approach the side And fall again Two people playing the part But which is life and which is art And isn't it a little late To start it all again Explain Request ×
