Lyrics
I like the way that it feels up here
Feeling like I can soar
Up so high I can’t recognize
Where I was before
It’s a long way down
But I’m not afraid to fall
Such a long way down
It’s a long way down
Just happy to be here at all
Such a long way down
I know I won’t stay aloft for long
Still I’m hoping I can linger
Dangling from a golden thread
Wrapped around your finger
Now I sense that the time draws near
For you to let me go
Our love passes before my eyes
Time is moving slow
It’s a long way down. . .
It just seems a little sad to me
To be up so high for so short a time
I could consider this a tragedy
I could consider this a crime
