Walking on the railroad rails   Leaning into one another   Balancing so we won't fail   Into timeless friends and lovers      We're still holding hands   Past the place I quite before   On this high trestle span   The distance down is what   We must ignore      Chorus      Balance is no harder after all   Out across this bridge so tall   Balance is no harder   Its just that you've got farther   Now you've just got farther to fall      Walking on the railroad rails   Out across this deep commitment   I can feel your finger nails   Hanging on to old resentment   And I miss that easy smile   Lately its a tight-wire frown   But we've come so many miles   We can make it if we don't look down      Chorus      Farther to fall   Looking all the way down   Maybe you'll drown in it all      But you like to walk this rail for two   As long as words like "wife" aren't said   But something comes over you   When you see that span of life ahead      Now you make your choice   Will you turn around and walk away   The tremble in your voice   You turn to me, smile and say   Hey!
