Lyrics Ilse DeLange

Ilse DeLange

Tap Dancing On The Highwire

Bright lights and funny clowns

Hammin' it up on the circus grounds

Horses, big parade

Such a pretty sight, this love we made

From way up here, life's just a ball

With you by my side, love is worth the fall

So we're tap dancing on a highwire

We could go tumbling down

But something makes me want to go higher

Think it's having you around

Oh, get a look at us playing with fire

Oh, we're tap dancing on a highwire

Big applause, from the crowd out there

Watching our hearts hang in mid-air

No strings and no fear

Keeps our love suspended up here

We know we could go lose our balance and fall

but a heart that don't dance

Ain't a real heart at all
