Come and lie beside me now my love
Come, I’ve always been too shy in love


My voice is narrow
And a boy ain’t supposed to cry
Until tomorrow:


Let me down gently
Let me down gently

Let me down gently
I’m too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly


Knowing you will always be a trial
Knowing that you only stay a while


My deepest horror
And I know I ain’t supposed to cry
I’m safe from sorrow


Let me down gently
Let me down gently

Let me down gently
I’m too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly
