Lyrics Top of the World - Wishbone Ash

Top of the World

Living in the shadow of darkness
And wondering why
Knowing that there but for fortune
Go you and I
Temptation has turned you
And twisted the knife
The world that we bought into
Is no longer mine
Love lost, you pay the cost of a lonely way —
This time you chose to go too far
How does it feel to be on top of the world?
Looking around, you see the ground below
How does it feel to be on top of the world?
Living a life that only you can know
Say goodbye to the old days
They’re over and gone
Facing up to the realization
That we’ve got to move on
This love and attraction
Has taken its toll
Your lies and illusions
Left me out in the cold
Love lost, you pay the cost of a lonely way —
This time you chose to go too far
How does it feel…
