Lyrics

Oh, dear departed, my brokenhearted Somehow it feels like I've been wronged Because forever floats like a feather And when I leave, this world goes on Wish I could cut it, cut it right open And push my heart into the knife So I could feel it and never seal it This pain of life, however slight Because I tread this world so lightly I'm disappearing here in the dark Oh, how I tread this world so lightly Close your eyes now and I'll be gone I took a lover and then another Yes, any lover, he would do Makes me feel pretty, purr like a kitty And wave goodbye when we are through But I keep humming, humming you home now That I might sing you off to sleep But when you wake up, it was just the makeup It never really went too deep Because I tread this world so lightly I'm disappearing here in the dark Oh, how I tread this world so lightly Close your eyes now and I'll be gone Teach me how to be loved Teach me how I can stay Teach me how I can love So that I won't fade away Oh, dear departed, my brokenhearted I am afraid, I am afraid I carry rocks here to make me heavy Or with the wind, I'll blow away Because I tread this world so lightly I'm disappearing here in the dark Oh, how I tread this world so lightly Close your eyes now and I'll be gone
