Dire Straits - Love Over Gold Lyrics

The way you walk out on the high wire
You're dancer on thin ice
You pay no heed to the danger
And less to advice
Your footsteps are forbidden
But with the knowledge of your sin
You throw your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind

Hey you go dancin' through doorways
Just to see what you gonna find
Leavin' nothing to interfere
With the crazy balance of your mind
And when you finally reappear
At the place where you came in
You're thrown your love to all the strangers
And caution to the wind

I take love over the gold
You gotta mind over matter
What you do, what you do that you must
When the things that you hold
Well they can fall and be shattered
They can run through your fingers like dust
