     Am
The path you tread is narrow
         Bm
And the drop is shear and very high
     Am
The ravens all are watching
        Bm
From a vantage point nearby
Am
Apprehension creeping
        Bm
Like a tube-train up your spine
Am
Will the tightrope reach the end;
          Bm
Will the final couplet rhyme

Chorus:
          C
And it's high time
Fmaj7
Cymbaline
    C
It's high time
Fmaj7
Cymbaline
   Em
Please wake me

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

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
Doctor Strange is always changing size

Chorus:
And it’s high time! (High time), Cymbaline
It’s high time, Cymbaline
Please, wake me

And it’s high time, Cymbaline
It’s high time, Cymbaline
Please, wake me
