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
