Kevin Alexander - Gently Lyrics

"Gently"

I'm tired of holding
All the things I should say
I'm tired of all these
Long lonesome days

Gentle, my darling
Gently, my dear
When you sit beside me,
I have nothing to fear

Just like a fine wine
I could never afford
You taste like a sweet...
A sweet slice of earth

Gentle, my darling
Gently, my dear
Who needs a drink when
Your breath's on my ear?

So many long roads
& many lovely days
Have beaten me down &
Made a food out of me

Gentle, my darling
Gently, my dear
Might you have the answer
To this hurting I feel?

Let's sit down a while
Can I listen to you talk?
Not in this lifetime
Will it ever be enough

Gentle, my darling
Gently, my dear
When I'm not with you,
You don't seem real
