Tread Lightly Lyrics - Singles - Maccoll Kirsty

(Kirsty MacColl/Pete Glenister) 

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
