I see the moon rising up at the end of the day
and the lights from the valley below
are all fading away
and it's in to the future we go, uncharted and strange
it's the same old world, but everything's changed
and it all looks a little bit strange

from up on this highwire
up on this real romance, and this love is
like learning to dance up on a highwire

I'm trying hard to get my feet back on the ground
but from here where I'm standing it's a long,
long way down
and the world goes around and around
and around and around
and from way up here, it's a long way down
it's a long, long way down

from up on a highwire
way up on this real romance
trust is like takinga chance,
love is like learning to dance up on a highwire

well I said I love you and this is the real romance
no net below us, we're talking the chance
and this love is like learning to dance
on a highwire..
