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.

Chorus: 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 lifted   ??
I'm 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 consider
It's enough for me to know that you tried.

Chorus
