Debbie Hennessey: Music

Walking On A Wire

(Debbie Hennessey)
written by Eric Lowen, Dan Navarro & Rick Boston

Walking On A Wire

Don’t waste your breath

Don’t waste my time

If I hear one more excuse I’ll lose my mind

It’s been a quiet war

Behind closed doors

Ain’t it getting hard to keep your balance anymore

chorus: Walking on a wire

Higher and higher

You told the truth but you’re still a liar

Walking on a wire

You deal in black and white

And everything in between

You were blessed with such finesse I almost know what you mean

Now I could close my eyes

Pretend to let it pass

But you leave on borrowed time and it would never last

chorus: Walking on a wire

Higher and higher

You told the truth but you’re still a liar

Walking on a wire

Walking on a wire

Higher and higher

You told the truth but you’re still a liar

Walking on a wire

bridge: And how does it feel with the whole world watching

Do you feel like you’re gonna fall

Was it safer with you’re back up against the wall

And why did you try when you knew you were losing

Just one mistake. And you’ll lose it all

Don’t waste your breath

Don’t waste my time

If I hear one more excuse I’ll lose my mind

chorus: Walking on a wire

Higher and higher

You told the truth but you’re still a liar

Walking on a wire

Walking on a wire

Higher and higher

You told the truth but you’re still a liar

Walking on a wire
