LET ME DOWN EASY    

Ralph McTell

How can I say it?  
It's just something I feel from way down inside
So hard to begin to try to explain it
But something's gone wrong, you're unable to hide.

Let me down easy, baby.
Be so kind as to let me down slow.
Let me down easy, baby.
It's so hard to let go.

We are not drifting, 
Not with one of us still left holding the line.
And the wind has moved you, set your sails lifting
Blows cold on the one who got cut loose behind.

Chorus

How can I say it?
Just something I know from way down inside.
No use for you to try to conceal it
It's enough for me to know that you tried.

Let me down easy, darling.
Be so kind as to let me down slow.
Let me down easy, darling,.
It's so hard to let go,
So hard, so hard to let go.
