Tight Rope

I used to think that I knew myself But I was looking down into a muddy well Reflections of my soul were so unclear Running away into a desert night With darkness wrapped around me so tight That I could not see the love shining through your tears I used to live on a tight rope wire To keep my balance I became a liar But you were shaken by my lies as you walked with me I watched you waiver and I heard you call I saved myself and I watched you fall And that's when I covered my eyes so I could not see Then I looked into the candle light There's a friend who shared some lonely nights Until it's honest warmth melted my disguise It's shed some light upon my mistakes Finally showed me I've got what it takes To share my life and love with someone else I used to live on a tight rope wire To keep my balance I became a liar But you were shaken by my lies as you walked with me (oh) I watched you waiver and I heard you call I threw myself down to break your fall And that's when I opened my eyes and began to see So now I'm hoping we can work things out Cause now I think I know what love's about I'm nothing but alone unless you're in my life If love means walking on a tight rope wire To keep me steady all that I desire Is for you to tell me yes, that you will be my wife I used to live on a tight rope wire To keep my balance I became a liar But you were shaken by my lies as you walked with me (oh) So take my hand as we walk life's wire And we can dance above the desperate fire Love is all we need to set us free So take my hand as we walk life's wire And we can dance above the desperate fire Love is all we need to set us free (oh oh) Love is all we need to set us free
