Compassionate Man

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 Compa*sionate man, so gentle, trying hard To shelter me, compa*sionate 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 Compa*sionate man, so gentle, trying hard To shelter me, compa*sionate man, so kind But the bottom line will be what it will be You're leaving me, leaving me, you're leaving me You're leaving me, you're leaving me
