The Levellers - Walk Lightly lyrics

Half an hour is gone and here we belong

Living it so it can't be wrong

Cos I was born the wrong way round

Growing up while coming down

But I didn't even know this

When you took me by the hand

That you

Talk ever so lightly

Lately

And you walk

Ever so slowly

I didn't know and I didn't care

What there was that could catch your breath

But a moment gone is a moment caught

And in half an hour I was taught

That I didn't need to know this

When you walked out of the night

That you talk ever so lightly

Lately

And you walk

Ever so slowly

I didn't move and I didn't breath

To be there where you were

I didn't think cos I didn't know

That half an hour spent

And all of the days and all of the ways

Will be there when you are gone

Cos you talk ever so lightly

Lately

A nd you walk

Ever so slowly

Half an hour's gone and we're still together

Walking now beneath the weather

All the dreams, all the pains

All that's come back again

But we don't need to be there

When it comes on oh so low

Cos you talk ever so lightly

Lately

And you walk

Ever so slowly

Come on this time but not for us

To be there when we're gone

And all of the world and all of the days

Are just half an hour long

And all of the lives of all of the gods

Will envy us our song

Cos you talk ever so lightly

Lately

And you walk

Ever so slowly
