If We Go Easy - Holly Throsby

Stay while all the ships go

Sailing on out to sea

Stay for our lonesome widow

That nobody else sees through

Aglow by the stove in the morning

Our backs against the fence

Nobody says they are sorry

And nobody gives in

We could stay playing games, babe

And always losing

Or if you go easy on me

Then I might go easy on you

If you go easy on me

Honey, do it

They’ve already been

That old swarm of bees

Many friends and enemies

Eating and drinking

We’re picking up all of our things

And going on home in the van

Moving about in the kitchen

With bottles and cans

I’m your old lady

And baby, you’re my old man

And if we go easy now

Maybe then, maybe then

And if you go easy on me

Then I might go easy on you

If you go easy on me

Honey, do it
