This water ain't holy That bird ain't a dove But when the road gets darkest Tread lightly my love When your heart gets heavy With what you've been in fear of When you need some surrender Tread lightly my love The spring it is coming and the air it is sweet The ice it is beginning to thaw The seasons of running from the winds of defeat The ugliness we're certain we saw There's a distant moon laughing He's perched high above Take my hands and trust me Tread lightly my love There's a box you've been keeping Filled with old useless stuff Let's set it all a fire Tread lightly my love You've colored every rainbow with the colors of your Sound The blue skies are beginning to crack You've got a rusty ole halo, you've lost what you'd found Your innocence it ain't coming back There are sunday's of wonder Some roads ride so rough Don't disappear under Tread lightly my love I'd be willing to bet you But your money ain't enough I'll be coming to get you Tread lightly my love I'll be coming to get you Tread lightly my love
