Let Us Down Easy (home demo) Songtext
von 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 neighborhood
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
Oh, let us down
(Let us down, let us down, let us down)
(Let us down, let us down, 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 as we eat alone
And pretty girl around sound pretty bore
Who takes your order, she yells it
And she cries alone in the back room
Once it stops then she smiles

So let her down if you must
But let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy, Lord
Oh, let us down


(Let us down, let us down, let us down)
Let us down easy, Lord
(Let us down, let us down, let us down)
Let us down
(Let us down, let us down, let us down)
Let us down easy, Lord
(Let us down, let us down, let us down)

Let us down, let us down, let us down (easy)
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
Let us down, let us down, let us down easy
