lyrics

When I first saw you closely, your beauty came in clear,
And I felt you were beyond me, and yet entirely near.
But I did not even falter, for I need not be adored,
I decided it was simple – I would give love and I would need nothing more.

And I would hold this one lightly and see if it might just stay,
If I could hold it lightly, and love in an easy way,
Love in an easy way.

So I come and then I leave you, and I get all the way back home,
And I think of all the sweetness, and I can't help pick up the phone,
And I say that I would like to see you a little more than now and again,
And you say “just let the river run easy, and love me like a friend,

And hold this one lightly, and see if it might just stay,
If we can hold it lightly, and love in an easy way,
Love in an easy way.”

Well I recognise those words because I have previously been
The one to have been using them, so I know just what they mean.
And I know my state of heart, and the danger that I'm in,
And I know the warning cry is on my side, and it beckons me to swim.

And it says “hold this one lightly, and draw yourself away,
And when you feel too strongly, keep your strength at bay,
And turn your heart away, when you can't love in an easy way”.
