Written for our first record but didn't make the cut. Not sure why as this song has really grown on me...but spent some time tweaking the EQ and throwing some Mastering on it. I think the song has aged well!

lyrics

Oh oh oh...we all fight for good seats
Oh oh oh...we all long to be the last to leave

1.
This dove is walking on a tight wire up above
Can you see her she is poised to make the jump
We all hold our breathe, delighted with despair
As she dangles all our hearts above the air

CHORUS
Will she fall? Will she break us all in the flight before the fates
Will she die? As she casts her eye once more upon the night sky

2.
She raises up her arms as wings to lift her soul
The crowd is hushed to hear the words that might console
We’re never meant to fly, we’re never meant to die
We all long to play in this parade of circus lies

CHORUS
Will she slip, will she lose her grip,
before she makes the final flip
Will she die? As she casts her eye
once more upon the night sky

3.
This dove is walking on a tight wire up above
Can you see her she is poised to make the jump
We all hold our breathe, delighted with despair
We all long to find the earth no longer there
