Soft Place To Land - Mary Gauthier

Look at me on the high wire

As I attempt to balance safety with desire

Step right up, get your tickets here

What you see should have you trembling with fear

Without a net, here I go

Ladies and gentlemen I promise you a show

As I’m crashing through the clouds I used to walk on

Reaching out for unfamiliar hands

Falling into the eyes of strangers

I wanna smile, but I can’t

I’m looking for a soft place to land

When you’re up so high it’s hard to know

If you look foolish waving to the crowd below

Well, it was plain to everyone but me

Only a fool forgets the pull of gravity

But for a while, didn’t I fly?

Didn’t I shine like a star up in the sky?

Well, now I’m crashing through the clouds I used to walk on

Reaching out for unfamiliar hands

Falling into the eyes of strangers

I wanna cry, but I can’t

I’m looking for a soft place to land

And I remember blue sky

I remember company

I remember laughter

I remember everything

As I’m crashing through the clouds I used to walk on

Reaching out for unfamiliar hands

Falling into the eyes of strangers

I wanna cry, but I can’t

I’m looking for a soft place to land

And it’s hard to find a soft place to land

Ain’t it hard to find a soft place to land?
