Go Light On My Heart
19 June, 2003
Author: Ben Laney
Will we stand by each other
While the world rages outside?
Will we remain friends and lovers
Or am I throwing sand at the tide?
Do what I can to prove I love you
Now, how can I draw you near?
Show me the dance that I must do
Just so the steps are clear
You have seen me from all sides
What more can I now reveal?
I stand here stripped of all pride
Do you know how naked I feel?
You know I long to have and hold you
Far beyond a night and day
I meant ev'ry last word I told you
Don't pick tonight to turn away
Baby, go light,
Go light on my heart
Baby, go light,
Go light on my heart
I'm burning
Like a soul that's been branded
There's no need
To be so heavy handed
Baby, go light,
Go light on my heart
