Well the child is an acrobat
And he walks along the wire
Knowing well that he might fall
Still he climbs up higher
And if he should slip
He will surely die
And his body will break
And he sure will fly
Into the night
Where the spirits scream
He will leave this world
And become a dream
Well my father was a sailor
And he lived along the water
Knowing well that he might drown
He sailed beyond the harbor
And if he should fall
He would surely die
And his body will sink
And his soul will fly
Into the night
Where the spirits scream
He will leave this world
And become a dream 2x
Nothing will change
Nothing will change
Nothing will change
Nothing will
Change
When the top goes by nothing will
Nothing will
Nothing will
Nothing will
My love she is my saving grace
She holds me through the winter
Knowing well that I will leave
Still she holds me closer
And if my heart should break
But I will surely die
And my blood will flow
And my soul will fly
Into the night
Where my spirits scream
I will leave this world and become a dream 3x
And he walks along the wire
Knowing well that he might fall
Still he climbs up higher
And if he should slip
He will surely die
And his body will break
And he sure will fly
Into the night
Where the spirits scream
He will leave this world
And become a dream
Well my father was a sailor
And he lived along the water
Knowing well that he might drown
He sailed beyond the harbor
And if he should fall
He would surely die
And his body will sink
And his soul will fly
Into the night
Where the spirits scream
He will leave this world
And become a dream 2x
Nothing will change
Nothing will change
Nothing will change
Nothing will
Change
When the top goes by nothing will
Nothing will
Nothing will
Nothing will
My love she is my saving grace
She holds me through the winter
Knowing well that I will leave
Still she holds me closer
And if my heart should break
But I will surely die
And my blood will flow
And my soul will fly
Into the night
Where my spirits scream
I will leave this world and become a dream 3x

just about the risk this acrobat takes and after and before each circus show he just imagines what would happen if he were to drop, maybe he even feels like sometimes he wants to drop- just cause he has the optin to be so high up, you know? his wife is his saving grace for the all the risks he takes in his life.
