Johnny Johnson - Thread Lightly Lyrics

I see your face is hung
Long and lonely down
I feel your razor tongue
Reshape another clown
There's love to sing of
Sing your sorrows too
But thread lightly
On the hearts of fools

We all belong
Separated with everyone
Born and gone
You said the only way to lead was on
Evade the light
Devastation is what you find
I praise a time
I crave a little bit of pride

I see the seed is sown
Planted in a frown
Stare of the evil eye
Vile insidious sound
There's love to sing of
Desires denied
But thread lightly
On the shells of pride

We all belong
Separated with everyone
Born and gone
You said the only way to lead was on
Evade the light
Devastation is what you find
I praise a time
I crave a little bit of pride
