Earth A Little Lighter Lyrics - Deacon Blue

When you walk across the earth,Do the horses hear you first 

And lift their heads as if concerned,That something has occurred 

To this world.............To this world 

You waved me from your car,You looked so changed I couldn't wave back 

Life past in a blur,I never really knew you at all 

Hmmm........................Hmmm........................Hmmm 

Maybe I saw you that time,Because you burned a little brighter 

On your way out of this world,To make the earth a little lighter. 

To make...... the earth..... a little .....lighter 

Shining ships on far off plains,That head for ports unnamed 

Stand more chance of being tamed,Than a life finally unchanged 

To make the earth a little lighter,To make the earth a little lighter
