Let Us Down Easy

Let Us Down Easy - Ryan Adams

In all my life Mercy

Hasn't known my name this well

Like how every sea filters out

And leads us gently to a creek

We sit around

Some of us are strong

But the rest of us are weak

So let us down

But if you must

Let us down easy lord

Let us down easy lord

Let us down

In patches of pink clouds Thick smoke

It comes rising off the hillside slopes

Down here this neighbourhood

It's just the dumps

With cars iced up perfect for writing on if

You're wearing gloves

Every season I spend alone

Feels like a thousand in my heart and soul

So let me down if you must But let us down

Easy lord Let us down easy

Lord if you let us down

Instead of praying I tell god these jokes he must

Be tired of himself so much he must be more

Than disappointed christmas comes we eat alone

A pretty smile surrounds a pretty girl who

Takes your order she yells it and cries alone in

The backroom once in a while until it stops

So let her down easy if you must

But let her down easy

Let us down easy lord

Let us down easy lord

Let us down

Let us down easy
