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 in my 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 she 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 Some of us are strong But the rest of us are weak And go it alone So let us down easy if you must But let us down easy, Lord Let us down easy lord, Let us down Let us down, Easy
