New to 3Speak song: "Tread Softly" by Eileen Laverty (cover)
I've loved this song, based on the Yeats poem, since I was a little girl: it speaks beautifully to the delicacy and vulnerability of love.
It's always haunted me and I finally decided to sing it myself.
Now sharing on 3speak - hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Tread Softly by Eileen Laverty
If I had the cloths of heaven
I would lay them at your feet
But all I have to offer are my dreams
Rays of sunshine tied with moonbeams
If I could I’d give them freely
But I’ve only golden threads of wishes
And silver glimpses of what might be
Tread softly
I gave my heart, I gave my soul
Tread softly
I gave my heart, I gave my soul
I don’t need costly jewels nor robes of silk
No Swiss account nor work of arts
Just let me find a treasure map to lead me to your heart
And I’ll tread softly
I gave my heart, I gave my soul
And I’ll tread softly
I gave my heart, I gave my soul
