The Acrobat (EP Version)

Oh, the child is an acrobat

And he walks upon the wire

Knowing well that he might fall

Still, he climbs up higher

And 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

Well, my father was a sailor

And he lived upon the water

Knowing well that he might drown

He sailed beyond the harbor

And 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

And 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
