KIRSTY MACCOLL - Tread Lightly lyrics

Another time, another day

Another baby on the way

A dreamboy for your nightmare nights

Who never shouts and never fights

Happy with your 2.2

What 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 be

It's called a lifetime

At first you never notice

Then the years go flying by and I say

Tread lightly in your dreams

They might come true for you tomorrow

Say 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 told

Sorry for the things I did

The thighs we should have left unsaid

And walked away instead of

Rubbing slat on all those open sores and wounds

We should have left to heal

I never knew just what to feel or to expect

I tried to stretch my mind but I'd just

Get my body wrecked and 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 tomorrow

I curse the day I met you

But I won't forget you

Not in my lifetime

Another 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 bye

He'll never get you in this lifetime

He'd love to touch you but his hands are tied

So 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 tomorrow
