The Acrobat - Johnathan Rice

Oh, the child is an acrobat

And he walks upon the wire

Knowing well that he might fall

Still he climbs up higher

If he should slip he will surely die

And his body will break and his soul will fly

Into the night where the spirits scream

He will leave this world and become a dream

Oh, my father was a sailor

And he lived upon the water

Knowing well that he might drown

He sailed beyond the harbor

If he should fall, he will surely die

And his body will sink and his soul will fly

Into the night where the spirits scream

He will leave this world and become a dream

He will leave this world and become a dream

Nothing will change, nothing will change

Nothing will change, nothing will change

Oh, the time goes by, nothing will

Nothing will, nothing will, nothing will

My love she is my saving grace

She holds me through the winter

Knowing well that I will leave

Still she holds me closer

And if my heart should break, well, I will surely die

And my blood will flow and my soul will fly

Into the night where the spirits scream

I will leave this world and become a dream

I will leave this world and become a dream

I will leave this world and become a dream
