It's Hard to Go Down Easy
It's Hard to Go Down Easy
Linda lost a lover in the early part of autumn
And she moved out to the country hoping all would be forgotten
The last time that I saw her she was making sure the winter
Wouldn't come through that old doorframe
Where the door is several inches from the ground
The cold hard ground
It's hard to go down easy
It's hard to keep from crying
It's hard to lose a lover
In the early part of autumn
She learned to cook the meals and she learned to start the fire
And she learned to make jewelry out of beads and pretty feathers
She'd sit down to the table with her friends and several others
And she'd try real hard to never be alone
It's hard to go down easy
It's hard to keep from crying
It's hard to lose a lover
In the early part of autumn
Now the winter wind blows cold upon her fairly gentle soul
She feels as though her time is passing easy
Her friend's a sometimes lover though he knows that there's another
She thinks about when nighttime lays on down
It's hard to go down easy
It's hard to keep from crying
It's hard to lose a lover
In the early part of autumn
