Текст песни: Walk the Wire (Commentary) + перевод

It was the strangest night

The kind of scene I don’t fit into

I didn’t feel so right

And she came back 'round

Drifting across my sight

Some apparition of make believe

I felt my chest grow tight

And I tumbled in

And she said, 'Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire'

Oh, I’m telling you, the whole thing is just a breaking of desire

You inevitably hold on, because you always do

You gotta walk that wire

Oh, I’m talkin' in tongues, 'cause I’m not made of steel

Somebody save me from myself

I’m just a man, alright

And I’m fumbling

With all this fading light

Maybe the moment to make my move

You hold your breath so tight

Cause we’re tumbling

And I said, 'Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire'

I’ve been telling you the whole time, it’s just a breaking of desire

Now, I promise to be brave too, because you’ve earned that right

You better walk that wire

There’s something in the air, right

Keep steady as you walk away

And we’re never gonna know right

But it’s better than the other way

And I said, 'Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire'

See, I never would have held on, but at the aching of desire

Know there’s heaven in a folk song, so just you hold on, because you’re dancing

on the wire

Mm, alright…
