Tread Lightly Lyrics
Another time, another day
Another baby on the way
A dreamboy for your nightmare nights
Who never shouts and never fightsHappy with your 2.2
W hat else is there for you to do
But turn and wet the baby's head
And pray he will be happier than you or me
That's how it's meant to beIt's called a lifetime, at first you never notice
Then the years go flying by and I sayTread lightly in your dreams
They might come true for you tomorrowSay sorry to the boys and girls
You're sorry for this bloody world
Sorry for the sick and old
And sorry for the lies you toldSorry for the things I did
The thighs we should have left unsaid
And walked away instead of
Rubbing salt on all those open sores and wounds
We should have left to healI never knew just what to feel or to expect
I tried to stretch my mind but I'd just get my body wreckedAnd now I tread lightly in my dreams
They might come true tomorrow
And I don't sleep at night in case
I don't wake up tomorrowI curse the day I met you
But I won't forget you, not in my lifetimeAnother time, another day
You'd never give your heart away
You'd never think and never cry
You'd look the devil in the eye
And tell him to be gone, bye, byeHe'll never get you in this lifetime
He'd love to touch you but his hands are tiedSo just tread lightly in your dreams
They might come true for you tomorrow
Tread lightly in your dreams
They might come true for you tomorrow
They might come true for you tomorrow
They might come true tomorrowTread lightly in your dreams
They might come true for you tomorrowTomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
