Let me Down Easy - Derrick Harriot (1972)

Let Me Down Easy

Disaster

Charango and Guitar Jam in La Paz, Bolivia

Lyrics:

If only you could see the places I've been
You'd say to yourself, there's no where else I'd rather be
Right now

I'll see you at the terminal
Where we wait for our fate
But we pick any world we like
Any world we hate
Any world we make, is ours

Porque tengo mariposas en Córdoba
Mariposas en Córdoba
That follow me around the world

In-between our kisses
Your eyes spark flames
And despite the pain we'll face
I can't keep away from you
Can't keep away from you anymore

Porque tengo mariposas en Córdoba
Mariposas en Córdoba
That follow me around the world


Mariposas En Córdoba

Lyrics:

Caught myself in a somber mood
Caught myself thinking about you
And how we'll never get to lock eyes
And how we'll never get to hold on tight
To our love

Caught myself in a familiar dream
Where you and me baby we were still a thing
Our laughter giving way to making love
But soon we'll wake up with all but none of the above
Our Love

Our Love



Our Love

Lyrics:

Follow your heart, follow the whale shark
Follow it down under the sea
You'll find me waiting there
Wearing a crown you wouldn't believe

Adorned with Poseidon's pearls and Athena's face
I couldn't but laugh as you took the bait
Under the ocean's might, I lie

Never felt more at home by your side
Never felt more alone in the night,
when you're not there
Truth is I die inside, lying alone at night

Wrapped up in thought, what to do with my life?
'Cause the woman I love is out of sight
Under the ocean's might, I lie

Never felt more alone by your side
Never felt more at home in the night,
when you're not there

Under the ocean's might

Under the Ocean's Might

Under The Ocean's Might

Lyrics:

The only thing that's worse than being a Black Sheep 
is being a white one
Trust me I know, I've been both
Crazy in love
Grazing, in love with you

Baa Baa Black Sheep, it's time for me to go 
follow my dreams 
Amidst a white meadow I know, I'm
Crazy in love
Grazing, in love with you

Baa Baa Black Sheep
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Have you any wool for me?
3 bags full for me
'Cause I'm crazy in love
And I'm grazing in love with you

Black Sheep it's been nice knowing you, 
it's been nice knowing me
but it's time for me to go
'Cause I know
I'm crazy in love
Grazing in love with you

Baa Baa Black Sheep
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Have you any wool for me?
3 bags full for me
'Cause I'm crazy in love
And I'm grazing in love with you
Black Sheep

Black Sheep

Lyrics:

Down the river bend
I see an old friend,
dressed in robes made of sin,
dressed in all the things therein: 
lovers, has-beens, next of kin

Down the river bend 
I hear an old song blend
falling deaf on the old me
drowned out when you hold me, 
But listen closely, cause I'm going upstream
just like a salmon king 
so I can lay with you one last time

I need your love
and sacrifice
Cause you're the one
my paradise
The souls of us
live on despite
Death awaits
and so does life 

Let's just stare in our souls
and grow old together baby

So baby hold me 
and I'll take you out of that dead sea
Cause I'm hungry for some flirting
And our love baby its burning

Down the river bend
I see a new friend
Made me forget 
all about my girlfriend
Cause this one is 
truly a godsend 
I approach her slowly just so I can behold thee
and then drink all of her honey 
Cause we're more than just buddies 

Let's just stare in our souls
and grow old together baby

We're more than buddies
we are lovers
discovering 
our bodies converging
baby aren't we so lucky
making love not fucking

I need your love
and sacrifice
Cause you're the one
my paradise
The souls of us
live on despite
Death awaits
and so does life

Down the River Bend

Lyrics:

Caught myself in a somber mood
Caught myself thinking about you
And how we'll never get to lock eyes
And how we'll never get to hold on tight
To our love

Caught myself in a familiar dream
Where you and me baby we were still a thing
Our laughter giving way to making love
But soon we'll wake up with all but none of the above
Our Love

Our Love

Lyrics:

You don't practice what you preach
'Cause the truth is, there's a breach
In your mind

Somewhere along the way
Something went wrong
Somewhere along the way
You made a mistake

But it's time to board the plane
To another world
Where we will be okay
I promise you babe

You know the fact is you're my babe
'Cause you're attractive, and I can talk with you for days
I spend a long time wonderin' 
Where my mind's been
Have you seen it babe?

Cause somewhere along the way
Something went wrong
And somewhere along the way
I made a mistake

So lets catch this fucken plane
To another world
Where we will be okay
I promise you babe

Flight to Catch

Lyrics:

It's only another day
It's all good baby, don't be afraid
You see I've fallen out of sync
Since you've been gone
You see I'm right at the brink
Of losing my head

But you know I am growing, growing new wings
You know I am sewing, sewing new seeds 
So let me keep glowing, under the sea
And let me keep burning, that old part of me

It's only another year
It's all good baby, nothing to fear
You see I'm looking at my drink
Wonder and all
You see I'm trying not to think
How far do I fall?

But you know I am growing, growing new wings
You know I am soaring, over the sea 
So let me go boldly, don't follow me
And let me keep burning, that old part of me
