Rope Dancer

Silent as a meadow on an Indian summer's day

Easy as a count to three

I see you slip away

My eyes are wide open

I can see fire and I am awake

The circus started moving

But I'm way too far behind

To hear the brutal noise of waking

Nothing I can do

So I decide to enjoy the lively colours they are making

Appropriate to look like a horse

With clowns a-playing soldier on its back

Rope dancer

I will break your fall

I'll be right on time

To do a trick and disappear

I'm waiting for you to come down

Your seat's already warm

Oh master of my joyful ceremony

Drums, walls and a rowing of eyes

Oh dear the wire you walk is on fire

Rope dancer

I will break your fall

Oh rope dancer

I will break your fall

I'll be right on time

To do a trick and disappear

I will be on time

I will break your fall

Those clowns are playing soldier on its back

Rope dancer

I will break your fall

I'll be right on time

To do a trick and disappear

Rope dancer

I will break your fall

I'll be right on time
