| Tender feet step lightly through my head.
|
| Leftover sleep, still lying on my bed.
|
| Been living in a dream, too scared to cross the line.
|
| And the frightened always tell you…
|
| Be careful when you shine.
|
| Overflowing, incomplete,
|
| Bite the hand or be discreet.
|
| Life is never easy when you
|
| Tread on tender feet.
|
| Tired eyes look fondly on her face.
|
| Watch the years slowly fade from grace.
|
| And the fires burn so low beneath an aching breast.
|
| The weary always tell you…
|
| It’s time to take your rest.
|
| Overflowing, incomplete,
|
| It’s a perfect stain on a dirty sheet.
|
| Life is never easy when you
|
| Tread on tender feet.
|
| Silent heart grows weaker everyday.
|
| And a stranger’s bed is where you long to lay.
|
| All the nameless, faceless,
|
| I heard a young girl weep.
|
| And the lonely always tell you…
|
| Never let your roots go deep
|
| When you tread on tender feet
|
| Don’t bite the hand… that feeds you. |
