[bad word] and lie beside me now, my [bad word]  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

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
