Summer comes in early, the southern sun is strong
Where first I saw your shining eyes and heard your siren song
"Will you follow me," you said, our silences to break
Across the bridge on sudden creek, I wander in your wake

Walk easy darlin', easy on this earth
Walk easy darlin', easy on this earth

It's tender at the moment, love, easy at the time
Broken bread and nothing said and streams of blood red wine
Have you had your fill of me, and will you tell me when?
Take me in your arms, love and lay me down again

Walk easy darlin', easy on this earth
Walk easy darlin', easy on this earth

We measure up our lives here, from the cradle to the clay
Against the everlasting wish to kiss the tears away
Open up your eyes, love, and do not be afraid
For like the bed we lay in, we are made to be unmade

Walk easy darlin', easy on this earth
Walk easy darlin', easy on this earth
