Tip Toe

So, tip toe through tireless peace
Come and go, leave your toys and sweets

If I had a place you could visit me
Read fairy tales, play hide and go seek

Cliff faces are far too steep
Even though we try to smile through our teeth

And this surface is not so deep
Although we have our secrets to keep

And tightropes are seldom too weak
Say I’ve lost my shoes or I have cold feet

And say stranger how did we meet
And who will hear us when we start to speak

But our shadows are still out on the street
My skin is still as white as a sheet

And our time is short and fleet
Empty pockets, trick or treat

But all we all need food to eat
Friend or foe we all go to sleep

But life away from home is far from cheap
So look long now before you leap

But the soldier please have a seat
You’re only alive while your own heart beats

And there will always be wolves among the sheep
But what’s left of the Earth will be ploughed
By the meek

Ploughed by the meek
