VERSE:

Bb          D#    Gm    Bb    
oh my child is an acrobat
       D#    Gm       Bb
and he walks upon the wires
          D#      Gm       Bb
knowing well that he might fall
D#       Gm        Bb
still he climbs up higher


CHORUS:

D#           Bb           D#        Bb             
if he should slip he will surely die 
        D#        Gm            D#        Bb    
and his body will break and his soul will fly
D#       Bb              D#     Bb
into the night where the spirit scream
        D#         Gm        D#       Bb
he will leave this world and become a dream


(second verse repeat musical pattern from first verse)

oh my father was a sailor
and he lived upon the waters
knowing well that he might drownd 
he sailed beyond the harbor

CHORUS:
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

Bridge:
Bb                                 D#
nothing will change   nothing will change
Bb                          D#           Gm

oh my love she is my saving grace
she holds me through the winter
knowing well that I will leave

if my heart should break I will surely die 
and my blood will float and my soul will fly
into the night where the spirits scream
I will leave this world and become a dream
