ea-aaasy

 ea-aasy,

my man and me.

we could rest and remain here, easily

we are tested and pained by

what’s beyond our bed

we're blessed and sustained by what is not said

no one knows what is coming

who will harvest what we have sown

or how i've been dulling and dulling

 in the service of the heart alone

or how i am warmed to the bone by the river

and in the river, made a life

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 of green

watch my luck turn full into love

 paralyzed daisy, cling 'til 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 courtin'

'til the day he croaks

 saying even then, "how there is light in the river

there's a river made of light

c'mon, you little life-giver

give your life"

who asked, who asked you if you wanna 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

want 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.
