Verse I:

The path you tread is narrow and the drop is shear and very high

The ravens all are watching from a vantage point near by

pprehension creeping like a choo-train up your spine

Will the tightrope reach the end; will the final cuplet rhyme

It’s high time

F7M
Cymbaline

Please wake me

Verse II:

butterfly with broken wings is falling by your side

The ravens all are closing in there’s no where you can hide

Your manager and agent are both busy on the phone

Selling colored photographs to magazines back home

CHORUS

Verse III:

The lines converging where you stand they must have moved the picture plane

The leaves are heavy around your feet you hear the thunder of the train

Suddenly it strikes you that they’re moving into range

and doctor Strange is always changing size
