And I'm throwing it away
It's easy, it's easy
It's easy, easy as life
All I have to do is
I want nothing in the world
And I'm throwing it away
Of the familiar cannot start
To forget how much I love him
Better to have lost him
This is no denial, no betrayal
Were I to be with him today
And my self-consolation
All I ever wanted
Who won't let a coward run
And though I choose to leave him
When he steals into my heart
And how he would have been
Redeemed in my own eyes
It's easy, it's easy
Were I to be with him today
Love's an ever changing situation
It's easy, it's easy
Those very rare occasions don't let up
And then I see the faces
For another kind of love
To pretend I never knew him
And all the magic would have died
Of a worn defeated people
Better the contempt
Until I think about him
Roll over and die
Until the earth draws in around me
Put my longing to one side
The faithful through the ages?
And though I'll think about him
Tender in his manner
Tell myself that
As he was when I last touched him
But myself to protect me
To beg for help
When the ties were barely binding
Passion would have cooled
Are easy, so easy
But I won't lie down
Forcing us to prove that
As he was when I last saw him
But redemption
All I have to do is
A father and a nation
And in the pantheon above
And how he would have been
Is this how the Gods reward
On those very rare occasions
All I ever wanted
But I won't even try
All the hardest things we've done
It's easy, it's easy as life
Until I think about him
They keep on coming
All I have to do is
