It Is Not Very Easy
it is not very easy to be here with you in this strange land
where you are no longer feeling blue
where your feet have become roots
and where your arms and hands
have given to the shape of twigs and blooms of
beautiful flowers
it is not very easy for me
to stay here with you
where i am but a this seed sprouting
and then suddenly transported
with such fragile hands
still unfit to the coldness
of the frost and snow
i am shivering to the promise of your love
your independence
seemingly shall shatter my old solid feelings
but i don't really mind, i am putting my thick
winter coat on, and i am slowly learning
the language
of your love

Easy Come,Easy Go
I see the way you look at me
It's not the Hennessey
Cuz you're feeling me
But instead you're acting scared
Don't be afraid of me
Let's not be cowardly
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Is it my girls 'round me
Or is my job heavy
Come baby talk to me
Maybe from caught out there
Don't tell me it's my hair
Come on now let's play fair
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Keep in mind boy
It's easy come and easy go
Instead I get Mr. crazy
Yeah he's comin' see
With the guts to say to me
He thinks that him n' me
Should go and have babies
(Yeah right)
I wish you'd come and save me

Easy and Difficult
Easy and Difficult
Easy to get a place in someone’s address book
Difficult is to get a place in someone’s heart
Easy is to judge the mistakes of others
Difficult is to recognize our own mistakes
Easy is to talk without thinking
Difficult is to control the tongue
Easy is to hurt someone who loves us
Difficult is to heal the wound
Easy is to forgive others
Difficult is to ask for forgiveness
Easy is to set rules
Difficult is to follow them
Easy is to dream every night
Difficult is to fight for a dream
Easy is to show victory
Difficult is to accommodate defeat with dignity
Easy is to admire a full moon
Difficult is to see the other side
Easy is to stumble on a stone
Difficult is to get up
Easy is to enjoy life every day
Difficult is to give its real value
Easy is to pray every night
Difficult is to find God in small things
Easy is to promise something to someone
Difficult is to fulfill the promise
Easy is to say we love
Difficult is to show it every day
Easy is to criticize others
Difficult is to improve oneself
Easy is to make mistakes
Difficult is to learn from them
Easy is to weep for lost love
Difficult is to take care of it so as not to lose it
Easy is to think about improving
Difficult is to stop thinking and putting it into action
Easy is to think bad of others
Difficult is to give them the benefit of doubt
Easy is to receive
Difficult is to give

It Was So Easy
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
I remember a time, rompin through the woods
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we would eat, whn we felt glad we would dance
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze
It was so easy then never takin any stands
It was so easy then, holdin hands
I remember a time when our fears could be named
And courage meant not refusing dares
I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks,
No only on the squares
Or else wed be abducted by the bears
It was so easy then never makin any plans
It was so easy then, holdin hands
It was so easy then never makin any plans
It was so easy then, holdin hands
And now we are grown, with debts and regrets
And broken hearts and sentimental schemes
Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams
Love can lead a normal woman to extremes
It was so easy once, holdin hands without a plan
It was so easy once holdin hands
Just holdin hands

Ambivalence
it easy to spot
our ambivalence
our lips want to kiss
but your hands
push my chest away
i want to hug you
and make love
with you
but my mind says
i may be
into a long range
trouble
i am thinking
of a room where
we can think
and speak our minds
where we can
forget the dangers
of our game
i reserve a day
for both of us
where we can
simply sit and
do not discuss
morality and what
people may say
yet my feet take
the cab and the
next thing i know
i am in a plane
warmed by my
own black jacket
my arms folded
my hands in
my pockets
i am beside
someone else
and the plane
touches down
and i cough
and it rains
and i step out
and i hide
in another room
far away from
you
and i tell myself
i will be missing you
the word is goodbye
it is never hello
it is never us
it is not the heat
but the coldness of
our coward hearts

Easy For Me To Say
easy for me to say (clint black/hayden nicholas)
Some won't find the words
More won't find a way
Never too often heard
You know it's easy for me to say
The thing you need to hear
Way more than every day
Can never be too clear
You know it's easy for me to say
Chorus
I love you
Quiet and loud
Alone in a crowd
I love you
In a thousand little ways
I'm learning to say
And i learn something new every day
I love you
It's easy for me to say
It always sounds the same
Music to my ears
Leaves nothing to explain
You know it's easy for me to hear
The phrase that we all know
Nothing it can't outweigh
Take it wherever we go
You know it's easy for me to say
Repeat chorus
Bridge
I love you
No poet ever found a better way
You know it's easy for me to say
I love you
I'll try to say it more every day
You know it's easy for me to say

Papa....
he's the newest Papa in
town carrying the brown baby in his arms
the tiny nose is not the same as his
aquiline shape
the lips are thick his aren't
the heart-shaped face does not jibe
with his square jaw
somehow there are clouds of
doubt
as he looks closely on that fragile
creature which is now at the very
mercy of his arms
and hands
the little angel shapes a smile
as tiny as a flea
jumping to his heart
everything is forgotten
all the clouds suddenly disappear
in flagrante
he falls in love
the one that accepts and
knows not
what rejection is

Starting Over Again
And, when I hold you in my arms I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forever more
We, we're just too young to know
We fell in love and let it go
So easy to say the words goodbye
So hard to let the feeling die
I know how much I need you now
The time is turning back somehow
As soon as our hearts and souls unite
I know for sure we'll get the feeling right
CHORUS
And now we're starting over again

Too Far Gone
I should warn you
Things youre feeling, arent normal now.
Think you need me
Its not easy, let you go some how.
Now were too far gone,
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take you give
Me the burdens bitter taste
You promise that youd stay
You say you want to go
Your lips provide a shelter for the
Things that I dont know
Please speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heart-ache,
Stop this burning now.
Wishful thinking
Patience shrinking, bliss is far away
North is calling
Now Im falling, at your feet please stay

Sleep On Her Lap!
Laying in the garden putting my head on her lap
Feeling her love in this charming nap
Below the tree, garden full of flowers
Dreaming in her love droping like rain showers
Touching my hair with her beautiful hand
Giving peace to my sleep in her fantasy land
Waking in the need of her desperate love
Smiling with the sparkling eyes, my above
Kiss on my lips, Hands on my cheeks
Her beauty and love is all what I seeks
Letting me sleep, stoping me to say
Wishing her heart, Forever this love stay
Caring for my sleep in her bed of roses,
The more I sleep, The more she gets closes!

Love at Sea
WE ARE in love’s land to-day;
Where shall we go?
Love, shall we start or stay,
Or sail or row?
There’s many a wind and way,
And never a May but May;
We are in love’s hand to-day;
Where shall we go?
Our landwind is the breath
Of sorrows kissed to death
And joys that were;
Our ballast is a rose;
Our way lies where God knows
And love knows where.
We are in love’s hand to-day—
Our seamen are fledged Loves,
Our masts are bills of doves,
Our decks fine gold;
Our ropes are dead maids’ hair,
Our stores are love-shafts fair
And manifold.
We are in love’s land to-day—
Where shall we land you, sweet?
On fields of strange men’s feet,
Or fields near home?
Or where the fire-flowers blow,
Or where the flowers of snow
Or flowers of foam?
We are in love’s hand to-day—
Land me, she says, where love
Shows but one shaft, one dove,
One heart, one hand.
—A shore like that, my dear,
Lies where no man will steer,
No maiden land.

July Tree
True love seed in the autumn ground.
True love seed in the autumn ground.
Where will it be found?
True love deep in the winter white snow.
True love deep in the winter white snow.
How long will it take to grow?
You know true love buds in the April air.
You know true love buds in the April air.
Was there ever a bud so fair?
True love blooms for the world to see.
True love blooms for the world to see.
Blooms high upon the July tree.

Easy Rider
Pop/jones
In the alley where have I grown
Hot night sweats our clothes
My hell is crackin fire
Thats what you inspire
Cruel highway entrance signs
People driving to their lives
Looks like a giant stream
But its just a dream
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Broken people all around
Old guarantees that pull you down
You need a way out, you need a ride
Cause where you are is suicide
Easy rider, easy rider
Easy rider, easy rider
Oh I see the sacred dreams
And if Im no _? _
Ill feel real _? _
Tearing out my hair
I see fertility
In pretty girls I meet
I love my friend
Give me hands _? _
Highway in the sun
We listen to the engines run
I wanna fine myself in you
You wanna find yourself, too

Easy rider, easy rider

The Hounds Of Winter
Mercury falling
I rise from my bed
Collect my thoughts together
I have to hold my head
It seems that shes gone
And somehow I am pinned by
The hounds of winter
Howling in the wind
I walk through the day
My coat around my ears
I look for my companion
I have to dry my tears
It seems that shes gone
Leaving me too soon
Im as dark as december
Im as cold as the man in the moon
I still see her face
As beautiful as day
Its easy to remember
Remember my love that way
All I hear is that lonesome sound
The hounds of winter
They follow me down
I cant make up the fire
The way that she could
I spend all my days
In the search for dry wood
Board all the windows and close the front door
I cant believe she wont be here anymore
I still see her face
As beautiful as day
Its easy to remember
Remember my love that way
All I hear is that lonesome sound
The hounds of winter
They follow me down
A season for joy
A season for sorrow
Where shes gone
I will surely, surely follow
She brightened my day
She warmed the coldest night
The hounds of winter
They got me in their sights
I still see her face
As beautiful as day
Its easy to remember
Remember my love that way
All I hear is that lonesome, lonesome sound
The hounds of winter
They harry me down

Easy To Love
Writers: leo sayer & albert hammond
Its easy to love when I love someone like you
Its easy to feel when you feel the way I do
You know love dont come easy and love dont compare
But when love comes to you, you gotta make it last
One the day that I met you I knew it could be
So easy for you and so easy for me
Its easy to love when I love someone like you
Its easy to feel when you feel the way I do
Like the stars in the night seem to shine from above
But thats the way I love to shine when you give me your love
And your love satisfies me like a natural high
From the soles of my feet to the top of the sky
Its easy to love when I love someone like you
Its easy to feel when you feel the way I do
You know love dont come easy, and love dont compare
But when love comes to you, you gotta make it last
One the day that I met you I knew it could be
So easy for you and so easy for me
Its easy to love when I love someone like you, babe
Its easy to feel when you feel the way I do, babe

Falling In Love...
Falling in love with you came so easy-
Surrendering to your arms it wasn't planned...
I just melted into you and your arms so true-
Walking with you-hand in hand;
You led me through your loving garden-
And picked for me a red-red Rose-
Sat me down amongst the Day Lilies-
And seduced me with your most delicate prose;
Oh- your words they were so heavenly...
That they captured my entire heart and mind-
Falling in love with you it came so easy-
Spending time in your arms most divine;
Falling in love with you it came so easy-
Surrendering to your arms it wasn't planned-
But i just melted into-your words so true-
That i walked with you-hand in hand;
We were oh so magical together...
Our two hearts-they melted into one-
Ours was a journey of true loves ecstacy-
Together-always when the day was done;
You were everything i ever needed...
Your charms and your charisma t'was so fair-
A Knight In White Satin you-indeed-were-
So regal-so cavalier-so debonair;
Falling in love with you it came so easy-
Surrendering to your arms it was not planned-
I just melted into you-and your words i thought were true?
And walked with you-hand in hand;
But the days began turning into continual night-
And your arms and charms disappeared into thin air-
Your words once true? Now turned me blue!
Thrown into reality-i realized that you no longer cared;
For what had been so wonderful-
For what had been a love so grand-
Has ended oh so abruptly-
That no longer do we walk hand in hand! ;

Dont Want To Lose You
Is she waiting now
Do you think she really really cares
Is she standing and looking with her hope
Her fingers through her hair
Looking at the future you and me baby
Life lately dont seem like wonderland
Nothing here nothing coming in
Money goes like a winos gin
Slips through my hands
* (and) I know it aint easy
I get drunk like a fool
Theres a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule
** hold on to this love
cos I dont want to lose you
Hold on to this love
cos I dont want to lose you
When the lights go down
Do you think she really really cares
As shes lying there with her arms around you
A strange affair
Looking at the lights on lakeshore drive
In the windy city now
Will our love stay alive
Last night I held you in my arms
You looked and said baby, we will survive
And I know it aint easy
cos life gets so cruel
And theres a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule
** repeat
** repeat
* repeat
Where you gonna go, who you gonna run to
Who you gonna see tonight babe
What you gonna wear, who you gonna know
Who you gonna see tonight my baby
From the back of a one dollar down
Did you ever think I wouldnt be around
This aint a stand off aint no fight
But where you gonna be sleeping tonight?

** repeat and fade out

The Contentment
i delight seeing the boat leave
the smoke is in our side
thick black smoke seemingly like
hands still reaching
for the abandoned land
as though it is
attached to the shore and
the old buildings
i wonder sometimes why i
delight in departures
why i at the same promise myself
that this is the only land i have
and i will be
staying here forever
at night i am in love
too much in love to the silence of
my solitude
from here where i stand beside
this window looking at the shadow of that boat
i am happier
simplifying and filtering my thoughts
sipping the joy of the moment
i do not dream of more
i ask nothing.

Frost Roses
Ice Roses
Frost on windows? Not where I live now, but where
I grew up, winter windows had thick layers of ice.
And in mornings, before anyone got out of bed, I
carved landscape and faces and saw my work fade
slowly away, by noon I could see the landscape
I had carved through clear windows, the mountain’s
stream, frozen solid now, and trees; mother’s face
also as she was busy in the kitchen baking bread.
I do not miss the cold Nordic land I came from, but
wish windows here too have frost roses, or be as
blank as a new page I could write. “I love you on.”

You Lay So Easy On My Mind
Rils/rice/fields
You lay so easy on my mind oh so easy on my mind
Whenever I need you, all I ever do is close my eyes
You lay so easy on my mind yes, so easy on my mind
Wrap me in your warmness, let me feel your body touching mine
Everything you say and do finds me wanting you
Each moment brings to light a million dreams
Having something real is something I can feel
When I feel you, angel, touching me
You lay so easy on my mind oh so easy on my mind
Theres not a part of me your sweet love wont reach to satisfy
Everyday I love you more, youre the one Im living for
And the best youll ever give youve given me
You completely satisfy every need inside
I pray youll never take your love from me
You lay so easy on my mind oh so easy on my mind
Theres not a part of me, your sweet love wont reach to satisfy
You lay so easy on my mind
