My gold leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do.

In the half light of morning, in a world between the sheets,

   Dsus2                A                     Asus2      E5          E5    Dsus2

And I know I'll never want another lover, my sweet.

                Dsus2
Can there be more in this world,

         Asus2                  B5alt
Than the joy of just watching you sleep'
I don't know just what to feel,
                                E          E7sus4
Won't someone tell me my love is real'

A                                    D    A        E
Waiting for the waves to come and re-claim the land.

Will the sun shine, all sweetness and light,

A                        Dsus2 Asus2   E
Burn us to a cinder, our third stone satelite.
[Chorus 1]
        E               Dsus2
I'm on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,

A                               Dsus2         E
Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.

        E                     Dsus2
I'm on a tightrope, baby, one thing I've found,

My cup it runneth over, I'll never  get my  fill.

        E                          Dsus2
The boats in the harbour slip from their chains,

Head for new horizons, lets      do the   same.

Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.
