1167. Easy - Joanna Newsom

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're 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 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 are green
Watch my luck 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 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
And 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
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'm 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
