Learning to love again after first love fails is tough on the young heart. Not genre specific.
TREAD SOFTLY WHERE LOVE FLICKERS
VERSE
Can you see the door is open
Can you feel the warmth inside
It’s from a candle burning
From a love that was denied.
It’s from a candle burning
From a love that was denied.
PC
A broken temple
The ruined ground
It has been a long time
Since those walls
Came down.
CHORUS 1
For a wounded deer
It shelters there
It’s trampled heart
In dark despair.
Tread softly
On that hallowed ground
Where love flickers….
Where love flickers….
Tread softly
VERSE
Can you see there is a longing
Something precious lingers there
A dream of love returning
Don’t wait, don’t stop, don’t stare.
A dream of love returning
Don’t wait, don’t stop, don’t stare.
PC
A broken temple
The ruined ground
It has been a long time
Since those walls
Came down.
CHORUS 1
For a wounded deer
It shelters there
It’s trampled heart
In dark despair.
Tread softly
On that hallowed ground
Where love flickers….
Where love flickers….
Tread softly
MIDDLE
The innocence of youth
Infatuations of the young
Where nothing can go wrong…
Or so it seems.
But don’t tarry in the shadows.
Or hide amongst the leaves
Pretty please.
For given time
You will trust again
So I believe.
SHORT CHORUS 2
Oh wounded deer
You shelter here
Your trampled heart
Should have no fear.
I will love you.
On this hallowed ground
Where time lingers….
Where love mingles….
Please love me do.

This is nice Geoff. I can hear it. You've got a bit of the old bard in you. Well done!
