Enter Lightly Lyrics by David Gray

The Best of David Gray

2016

[Verse 1]
Enter lightly
Leave on tiptoe
Reach your hands across
But don't you grab, no
You can ask "why not?"
But never "why?"

[Chorus]
And if you seek the truth
Let not a word to pass, your lips
Lest you know it, for a lie

[Verse 2]
Take it easy
Don't let that grass grow
See it clearly, yeah
It's through a window
Take a good step back
But don't be shy

[Chorus]
And if you seek the truth
Let not a word to pass, your lips
Lest you know it, for a lie
For a lie

[Refrain]
Say the word, take me back, to the start of it
Down a road leading God knows where
They drag me out, fly me straight to the heart of it
Hanging on, by my fear, the tears
For what it's worth, seems just as real
Do me now, as it's always been

[Verse 3]
Seems unlikely
And what would I know?
What would I know?
Mmm

[Chorus]
And if you seek the truth
Let not a word to pass, your lips
Lest you know it, for a lie
