From the recording America, Dreaming
Lyrics
young man sitting on his porch at night
he’s sitting there watching with eyes open wide
thinking love might just walk on by
but it don’t come now and it didn’t come then
sometimes you just can’t know when
even when you feel it
coming around the corner
he’s thinking,
love, come easy
love, come easy
now switch the scene to a café shop
a woman walks in from the parking lot
she’s covered in rain and filled with thoughts of loneliness
she takes her coffee black
as she wonders where the hell she’s out
how love could escape her grasp once again
she’s thinking,
love, come easy
love, come easy
love, come easy
love, come easy
if the two of them should meet
somewhere there out on the street
is it love that might set them free
but they just keep their heads down
praying what’s been lost will become found
and love will come easy
but love don’t come easy
love, come easy
love, come easy
love, come easy
