Deacon Blue - 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
