lyrics

Tread Very Carefully Here

Tread very carefully here,
We've both had too much to drink
And the music that fills the street
Has got us both up on our feet

The seams of that old summer dress
Are still hanging together by threads
I know you’re wearing it now for my sake
You’re wearing it now like a prayer

But prayers won’t make a difference to this
They’re broken and battered things
They bloom and then wither like flowers
And me, I’m not the spiritual kind
A brightness has gone from inside
- it burst into flames and then died

So please, tread very carefully here
Be careful with all my fears
I haven’t been here for years
And please, be kind if I make mistakes
If I shatter apart and break
Just tread very carefully here

Tread very carefully here,
The dawn’s a few hours away
And soon the dull grey of day
Will find us as lovers again

And that dress you let fall to the floor
Crumpled and spilt by the door
Is a voice from a lifetime away
That’s calling me back like a dream

But dreams won’t make a difference to this
They’re weightless and gossamer things
They melt into nothing like dust
And me, I’m not the visionary kind
But something is burning inside,
- a strange and impossible light

So please, tread very carefully here
Be careful with all my fears
I haven’t been here for years
And please, be kind if I make mistakes
If I shatter apart and break
Just tread very carefully here.
