Love you were kind and much older, foolish but wiser than me

Am I becoming an anchor, holding you back from the sea



Restlessly you stand there, crying silently

It must be so hard being easy on me



Chorus:

Compassionate man, so gentle, trying hard to shelter me

Compassionate man, so kind, but the bottom line will be what it will be

You're leaving me, leaving me



Love, my whole life was a desert, then gently your love fell like rain

We lived for awhile in a garden, but now I'm a desert again



Come right out and say it, tell me honestly

It must be so hard being easy on me



chorus



You're leaving me (repeats out)
