Dan Fogelberg - Go Down Easy lyrics

Linda lost her lover in the early part of autumn

And she moved out to the country hoping all would be forgotten

The last time that I saw her she was making sure the winter

Wouldn't come through that old door frame

Where the door is several inches from the ground, the cold hard ground

And it's hard to go down easy

And it's hard to keep from crying

And it's hard to lose a lover in the early part of autumn

Well, she learned to cook the meals and she learned to start the fire

And she learned to make jewelry out of stones and precious metals

She sits down to the table with her friends and several others

And she tries real hard to never be alone

And it's hard to go down easy

And it's hard to keep from crying

And it's hard to lose a lover in the early part of autumn

Now the winter wind blows cold upon a fair and gentle soul

And she feels as if her time is a-passing easy

Her friends are sometimes lovers, though they'll always be another

She thinks about when the night time lays on down

And it's hard to go down easy

And it's hard to keep from crying

And it's hard to lose a lover in the early part of autumn

And it's hard to go down easy

And it's hard to keep from crying

And it's hard to lose a lover in the early part of autumn
