RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Easy There, Steady Now

(Richard Thompson)



Jack-knife with a precious load spills its guts all over the road

Excuse me, I had to smile, lost my grip, too, for a while

It's easy there, steady now, easy there, steady now



She didn't have the decency to sweep away what's left of me

I don't have the presence of mind to walk along on a straight line

Easy there, steady now, easy there, steady now



I call your name, I call it loud

I see your face in every crowd



Nosebleed down the bathroom wall leaves a pool down in the stall

I wonder where you are tonight, red dress, skin so white

Easy there, steady now, easy there, steady now



3 am an empty town, Doctor Marten's echo down

Old man heartbreak follows you, corruption's shadow swallows you

I said easy there, steady now, easy there, steady now



I call your name, I call it loud

I see your face in every crowd



Jack-knife with a precious load spills its guts all over the road

Excuse me, I had to smile, lost my grip, too, for a while

Easy there, steady now, easy there, steady now

Easy there, steady now, easy there, steady now
