Tightrope — текст песни (Stevie Ray Vaughan)

Caught up in a whirlwind can`t catch my breath
Knee deep in hot water broke out in a cold sweat
Can`t catch a turtle in this rat race
Feels like I`m losin` time at a breakneck pace

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace
Heart full of darkness spotlight on my face
There was love all around me but I was lookin` for revenge
Thank God it never found me would have been the end

(I was) walkin` the tightrope steppin` on my friends
Walkin` the tightrope (it) was a shame and a sin
Walkin` the tightrope between wrong and right
Walkin` the tightrope both day and night

Lookin` back in front of me in the mirror`s a grin
Through eyes of love I see I`m really lookin` at a friend
We`ve all had our problems that`s the way life is
My heart goes out to others who are there to make amends

We`ve been walkin` the tightrope tryin` to make it right
Walkin` the tightrope every day and every night
Walkin` the tightrope bring it all around
Walkin` the tightrope from the lost to found

Walkin` the tightrope stretched around the world
Walkin` the tightrope save the boys and girls
Walkin` the tightrope let`s make it right
Walkin` the tightrope do it do it tonight
Walkin` the tightrope
