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
