Bb          Eb    Gm    Bb    
oh my child is an acrobat
       Eb    Gm       Bb
and he walks upon the wires
          Eb      Gm       Bb

still he climbs up higher

and his body will break and his soul will fly
Eb       Bb              Eb     Bb
into the night where the spirit scream
        Eb         Gm        Eb       Bb
he will leave this world and become a dream

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

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

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
