Come and lie beside me now, my love

Come, I've always been too shy in love

My voice is narrow

And a boy ain't supposed to cry

Until tomorrow:



Let me down gently

Let me down gently

Let me down gently

I'm too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly



Knowing you will always be a trial

Knowing that you only stay a while

My deepest horror

And I know I ain't supposed to cry

I'm safe from sorrow



Let me down gently

Let me down gently

Let me down gently

I'm too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly



Let me down gently

Let me down gently

Let me down gently

I'm too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly
