Lyrics
easy, i say, easy
you don't want to miss the spring
there are things you do and things you don't consider
like settling down before you ever saw a thing
there were birds inside the supermarket
i saw the dawn forget its pride
i saw angels on the water
and on the waterside
easy, i say, easy
see her curve around the buildings in her shift of yellow silk
you wouldn't ride that train unless
you knew that train was headed for the city
with its honey and its milk
and you say you'll go and then you go
you can trust a lying man to tell the truth
even these days
you say you will and you never do
i can trust no one like i trusted you
and i lost my faith in so many ways
easy, i say, easy
will they take from you the spring?
if i'm to lose you like i lost you before
am i to lose everything?
there were birds inside the supermarket
i saw the dawn forget its pride
i saw angels on the water
and on the waterside
and you say you'll go and then you go
you can trust a lying man to tell the truth
even these days
you say you will and you never do
i can trust no one like i trusted you
and i lost my faith in so many ways
