Gentle is the rain that falls on me

And gentle too the raging sea

But gentle is the girl who breaks my heart.



Gentle are the tears she cries for me

And gentle too her reverie

For gentle is the girl who breaks my heart.



Gentle love she hurts me so

I wish that I could let her go

She loves to take and break my heart in two.



INSTRUMENTAL



Gentle is the light that helps me see

And the night that takes her from me

Gentle is the girl who breaks my heart

Who loves to hurt

Who hurts to love

Who lives to laugh

Who cries to live

Who gives me somethin' I don't know

Who takes me gently

When she will, and goes.
