Lyrics

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 things we should have left unsaid
And walked away and left instead of
Rubbing salt in 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
Tread lightly in your dreams
They might come true tomorrow
