Let Us Down Easy

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 aroundSome of us are strong
But the rest of us are weakSo let us down if you must
But let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy, Lord
Ooh, let us downIn patches of pink clouds, thick smoke
It comes rising off the hillside slopes
Down here in this neighborhood
It's just the dumps with cars iced up
Perfect for writing on if you're wearing glovesEvery season I spend alone
Feels like a thousand
To my heart and in my soulSo let me down if you must
But let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy, Lord
Ooh, let us downLet us down, let us down, let us down
Let us down, let us down, let us downInstead 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 boreWho takes your order, she yells it
And she cries alone in the back room
Once it stops then she smilesSo let her down if you must
But let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy, Lord
Let us down easy, LordOoh, 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 easyLet 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
