Tightrope Walker
Ayla Nereo Lyrics

Ricochet pinecone
The bouncing sound of a pinecone hitting rocks

Riverside elderberry
The elderberry plant growing near a river

Underwater rushing
The sound of water rushing under a body of water

Tightrope walker
One who walks across a narrow rope or wire to demonstrate balance and skill

Whistlestop coming
A train is about to pass by

Soon I gotta go, gotta
I have to leave soon

Tiptoe mudslide
Walking carefully on a slippery surface

Timid as a raindrop
Shy and quiet like a falling raindrop

Bold as the iceberg
Strong and fearless like an iceberg in the ocean

Broken as the thorn of the
Damaged like the sharp point of a thorn

Blackberry crushing
Smashing blackberries to a pulp

Goose-down comfort
The soft feathers of a goose used for warmth and comfort

Blackbear hideaway
A place of safety and security for a black bear

Going out for winter
Leaving for the winter season

Undertone overcast
A subdued feeling under a dark and cloudy sky

In breath outside, going on a limb
Taking a risk by stepping outside of one's comfort zone

And tearing of the bandage
Facing one's fears and removing obstacles

Uncover fearlessness
Discovering inner strength and bravery

When lightning Strikes
A powerful event that causes a sudden and intense reaction

It meets in the middle, as a
The two sides of a situation coming together to create something new

Bone-bent riddle be met with a
A difficult problem or situation that requires creative thinking and problem-solving skills

Riddle be found
Finding a solution to a difficult problem

Ricochet pinecone
The bouncing sound of a pinecone hitting rocks

Cavernwide honeyberry
A sweet fruit growing in a cave

Waterbent keeper
One who protects and takes care of a body of water

Elderwise timestone
The ancient and wise stone of an elder

Rise a gaze east-side
Looking towards the sunrise in the east

Telling to the cradle
Sharing a story with the younger generation

Told as a footprint
A story told in a way that is clear and easy to understand

Burned as a brightening
A feeling of burning enthusiasm and passion

Sudden as the rush of the rib-bent whistler
A sudden and intense feeling like the sound of rushing wind

Windsweep set-down
A sense of calmness and tranquility after a storm

Shadowside lightaway
The light shining through a shadowed area

Fool-eyed leader of the
A leader who takes risks and challenges the norms

Tightrope walker…
One who demonstrates balance and skill by walking across a narrow rope or wire

Underbelly overcast
A feeling of uneasiness under a dark and cloudy sky

Going on a limb and
Taking a risk by stepping outside of one's comfort zone

Tearing of the bandage
Facing one's fears and removing obstacles

(tightrope walker)
One who demonstrates balance and skill by walking across a narrow rope or wire

(when lightning strikes)
A powerful event that causes a sudden and intense reaction

Outbreath inside
A feeling of calmness and tranquility within oneself

(when lightning strikes)
A powerful event that causes a sudden and intense reaction

Inbreath outside
Tuning into the external world and being aware of one's surroundings

Outbreath inside
A feeling of calmness and tranquility within oneself

Inbreath outside
Tuning into the external world and being aware of one's surroundings
