Carefully

A sad mistake
A strange coincidence
Two fields were crossed
I lost my innocence
Stood staring straight into the sun

An orange flame
To break the black of night
He calls my name
But doesn’t say it right
I stay in place
When I should run

Carefully, carefully now
Don’t let it fall and break
Hold it tight, with both hands
For sadness sake

I know you’re there
But I can’t see too well
I touch your hair
Inhale your earthy smell
I try to feel
Beyond the glass

Carefully, carefully now
Don’t let it fall and break
Hold it tight, with both hands
For sadness sake

A sad mistake
But I’m recovering
The birds of prey
No longer hovering..

Carefully, carefully now...
