Compassionate Man Lyrics

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

 Chorus:
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

chorus

You're leaving me  (repeats out)
