lyrics

Babe, Come easy to me, Don’t tell me that your master called
I’m beat and I’m mean and hungry I Need for you and me to talk
I miss the touch of gladness when I hold you close
The way you look at me and say you care
When evening comes , I want your laughter near,
No one to have to ask about where

Babe, come over tonight Bring along your dancing shoes
We’ll prance till the broad daylight, Then Go and buy the Sunday news
The headlines won’t be easy to take , the truth is seldom bought for free
And when your knight in armor comes to take you away, I’ll tell you how I thought it might be
She came to dance the night away and all I had was half of what I hold
She stayed and showed me her soft touch, a night of love I got to behold
No promise of tomorrow ever crossed her lips, nor rumor of more things to come
The time for choosing had come and gone, the day won’t hold another sun.

I loved her in the morning, her brightness caught me half in stride
At home just to have seen her
For eyes of love have no where else to hide
Our bodies offered total communion
The souls of me and you so intertwined
Alive within a world of sad confusion
Two spirits looking for the light.
