Heart's on fire, 'cause down the wire
Comes a voice from my past
My eyes ablaze, I have no escape
It's a need I've got to ask
Believe right from the start
Hold on to what you've got
Have faith in someone down the wire
Pure in spirit, strong at heart
Long in truth but short of the mark
I know your time will come one day
Down the wire comes my heart
Worlds apart but you're next to me
Down the wire down all the days
You been gone but you promised me
You can't cross me a river,
And you see what I do down the wire
Heart's on fire, 'cause down the wire
Comes a voice from out of the cold
Would I miss your touch, would I miss my own sight
There's a heart that's beating down the line tonight
Believe right from the start
Hold on to what you've got
Have faith in someone down the wire
Pure in spirit, strong at heart
Long in truth but short of the mark
I know your time will come one day
Down the wire comes my heart
Worlds apart but you're next to me
Down the wire down all the days
You been gone but you promised me
You can climb me a mountain
And you'll see what I do down the wire
(solo)
Down the wire comes my heart
Worlds apart but you're next to me
Down the wire down all the days
You been gone but you promised me
You can't cross me a river,
And you see what I do down the wire
Down the wire comes my heart
Worlds apart but you're next to me
Down the wire down all the days
You been gone but you promised me
Down the wire comes my heart
Worlds apart but you're next to me
Down the wire down all the days
You been gone but you promised me
You promised me
Down all the days
'Cause you been gone
Down all the days
I've been down
I've been down
Down the wire
Down the wire
'Cause you been gone
