|
Easy, easy, |
|
My man and me. |
|
We could rest and remain here, easily. |
|
We are tested and pained by what's beyond our bed; |
|
We are blessed and sustained by what is not said. |
|
No-one knows what is coming, |
|
Or who will harvest what we have sown, or |
|
how I've been dulling and dumbing |
|
in the service of the heart alone. |
|
Or how I am worn to the bone by the river, |
|
And in the river, made of light. |
|
I'm your little life-giver; |
|
I will give my life. |
|
Haven't you seen what I've seen? |
|
Don't you know what you ought to do? |
|
I was born to love, and I intend to love you. |
|
Down in the valley where the fields are green, |
|
Watch my love turn fro and to; |
|
Pluck every last daisy clean 'til only I may love you. |
|
I am easy - easy to keep; |
|
Honey you please me, even in your sleep. |
|
But my arms wanna cary; my heart wants to hold. |
|
Tell me your worries. I want to be told. |
|
Sit and see how the fog from the port in the bay |
|
lays like snow at the foot of the Roanoke; |
|
Hear the frog going courting, |
|
'til the day he croaks. |
|
Saying even then - how there is light in the river, |
|
And there's a river made of light; |
|
Come on, you little life-giver. |
|
Give your life. |
|
Who asked you? |
|
Who asked you if you want to be loved by me? |
|
Who died and made you in charge of who loves who? |
|
All the livelong day, if I have my way, I will love you. |
|
But one can't carry the weight, |
|
Or change the fate of two; |
|
I've been waiting for a break - |
|
How long's it gonna take? Let me love you. |
|
How about it? |
|
How about what I have to say? |
|
How about that livelong day? |
|
How am I gonna stay here without you? |
|
Easy, easy. You must not fear. |
|
You must meet me to see me; |
|
I am barely here. |
|
But like a bloody mary, seen in the mirror, |
|
speak my name and I appear. |
|
Speak my name and I appear. |
|
Speak and I appear. |
