The Walk

(album: Dressing Like A Stranger - 2022)

There's a tight rope swinging
From the past, high in the trees
Where the hell it's leading is obscured by all the leaves
With just blind steps forward
Swaying with the breeze
If I fall who will catch me?

All the tight rope dancers
I imagine in my dreams
How they take bold chances
With a grace that you've never seen
I'm so unsteady
How can I believe
That I'm strong
And I'm ready?

The walk is tough
The rope is rough
But if it carries them
It'll carry us
All the fallen leaves
Help to count the cost
I will walk if you walk with me

Not yet half way over
And the weather's scaring me
Well, the storm clouds gather
And it's getting hard to see
But I think I hear you
Stepping close to me
And that's all I ever need

The walk is long
But the rope feels strong
If we just stay close
It'll lead us home
But baby, don't let go
'Cause I can't walk alone
If I fall, will you fall with me?
I will walk if you walk with me
