Lyrics

HIGH WIRE - Crowes Pasture
© A. Rogovin & M. Byrne

Take me away
To a place I’ve never been before
I’ll know the way
When I open up the door

In the summer of ‘74
I knew my life could be much more
The tallest thing that I have seen
I need a wire to walk between

Twin towers sway
A thousand feet above
The waking day
New York City, out to play

Take me away
Out on the high wire
I’m gonna stay
Out on the high wire

But I can’t stay
Thirty-seven years have gone away
In the world today
Troubled times won’t stay away

Once on a dare
I lived a dream
Danced in the air
Now there’s nothing there

On a bright September day
Blue and white turned black and gray
Four thousand souls took flight
Where there was steel, there now is light

I am the moon
Silver ball in a black lagoon
Waiting for the day
You’ll be with me to stay

Take me away
Out on the high wire
I’m gonna stay
Out on the high wire
