"Love Over Gold" lyrics
"Love Over Gold"
You walk out on the high wire
You're a dancer on thin ice
You pay no heed to the danger
And less to advice
Your footsteps are forbidden
But with a knowledge of your sin
You throw your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind
And you go dancing through doorways
Just to see what you will find
Leaving nothing to interfere
With the crazy balance of your mind
And when you finally reappear
At the place where you came in
You've thrown your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind
It takes love over gold
And mind over matter
To do what you do that you must
When the things that you hold
Can fall and be shattered
Or run through your fingers like dust

That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly

Tony Joe White - "Closer To The Truth" Strong instinct for survival
Romantically insane
Moving soft along the edge of time
Like a panther in the rain
Manipulated rebels
With a total disregard for the rules
When pride comes tumbling off...
