Deacon Blue and Ricky Ross - Earth A Little Lighter
When you walk across the earth,Do the horses hear you first
And lift their heads as if concerned,That something has occurred
To this world.............To this world
You waved me from your car,You looked so changed I couldn't wave back
Life past in a blur,I never really knew you at all
Hmmm........................Hmmm........................Hmmm
Maybe I saw you that time,Because you burned a little brighter
On your way out of this world,To make the earth a little lighter.
To make...... the earth..... a little .....lighter
Shining ships on far off plains,That head for ports unnamed
Stand more chance of being tamed,Than a life finally unchanged
To make the earth a little lighter,To make the earth a little lighter
And lift their heads as if concerned,That something has occurred
To this world.............To this world
You waved me from your car,You looked so changed I couldn't wave back
Life past in a blur,I never really knew you at all
Hmmm........................Hmmm........................Hmmm
Maybe I saw you that time,Because you burned a little brighter
On your way out of this world,To make the earth a little lighter.
To make...... the earth..... a little .....lighter
Shining ships on far off plains,That head for ports unnamed
Stand more chance of being tamed,Than a life finally unchanged
To make the earth a little lighter,To make the earth a little lighter
