Easy

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 sewn

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 luck turn, fro and to

Pluck every last daisy clean

Till only I may love you

I am easy

Easy to keep

Honey, you please me

Even in your sleep

But my arms want to carry

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

Till the day he croaks

Saying, even then

There is light in the river

There is a river made of light

C'mon, 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
