Olivia Newton-John - Compassionate Man lyrics

(John Farrar/Chris Christian)

Love you were kind and much older

Foolish but wiser than me

Am I becoming an anchor

Holding you back from the sea

Restlessly you stand there, crying silently

It must be so hard being easy on me

Compassionate man, so gentle

Trying hard to shelter me

Compassionate man, so kind

But the bottom line will be what it will be

You're leaving me, leaving me

Love, my whole life was a desert

Then gently your love fell like rain

We lived for awhile in a garden

But now I'm a desert again

Come right out and say it

Tell me honestly

It must be so hard being easy on me

Compassionate man, so gentle

Trying hard to shelter me

Compassionate man, so kind

But the bottom line will be what it will be

You're leaving me, leaving me

You're leaving me

You're leaving me

You're leaving me
