    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 are blessed and sustained
    By what is not said

    No-one knows what is coming, or
    Who will harvest what we have sewn
    Or how I've been dulling, and dumbing
    In the service of the heart alone

    Or how I am worn to the bone
    By the river
    And, in the river made of light
    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

    Continues after the ad

    Down in the valley
    Where the fields are green
    Watch my luck turn, fro and to
    Pluck every last daisy clean
    Till 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 courting
    Till the day he croaks
    Saying, even then
    There is light in the river
    There is a river made of light
    C'mon, little life-giver
    Give your life

    Who asked you?
    Who asked you
    If you want to 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 am 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
