Short in the Sleeve - Let You Down

You were singing like a lonely bird on a wire
With a song I couldn't keep from my mind
Now we're caught up in the waves of recklessness and desire
Lost sight of the shore we've behind

Can we hold on to this feeling
When our fears all come crowding 'round
And you swear your heart is in my keeping
But can I swear I won't let you down
I won't let you down

Will I be the man I think I am or a liar
Dressed in a brilliant disguise
Quick to carry all the weight of love just to tire
And play by rote the role I've memorized

Can we hold on to this feeling
When our fears all come crowding 'round
And you swear your heart is in my keeping
But can I swear I won't let you down
I won't let you down

You were singing like a lonely bird on a wire
With a song I couldn't keep from my mind

Can we hold on to this feeling
When our fears all come crowding 'round
And you swear your heart is in my keeping
But can I swear I won't let you down
I won't let you down
