Go Down Easy

By Dan Fogelberg

( Written by: Jay Bolotin )


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 makin sure the winter
Wouldnt come through that old door frame
Where the door is several inches from the ground,
The cold hard ground.

(chorus)

And its hard to go down easy;
And its hard to keep from cryin;
And its 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.

(chorus)

Now the winter wind blows cold
Upon a fair and gentle soul
And she feels as if her time is passin easy.
Her friends are sometimes lovers,
Though theyll always be another
She thinks about when the night time lays on down.

(chorus) twice

  2. In the blog below, Santa must have taken up farming. He seems to have lost his A**!
    You're making me feel bad by getting on with the decorating.

  7. I loved that video and despite the words to the song I couldn't stop thinking of Christmas because a snowy cabin and Christmas go hand in hand.

    OOPS!

    You're right about that, of course!
    I just assumed Dan wrote it because he does it so well! :) I love that 'High Country Snows' album!

    BTW- are you a Fogelberg fan? I am a long time fan!

    Do I know you? Not that I mind talking to ppl I don't know but it's nicer to talk to a friend!
