Life Could Be Easy - Chris Murray

as the wind of avowal howls

down a cold and narrow street

to a grim and forgotten corner

where words and action used to meet

while the talk only passes hours

what we do means more than what we say

and that’s why our own little precious problems

end up getting in our way

ooo — life could be easy if we let it

ooo — life could be so sweet

oh the trees would be greener

if we cast away our blues

and the fruit would be sweeter in our mouths

if our minds were not so sour

what was once out of reach is ours

if we take care to be carefree

oh what a life, what a life it could be

just waiting to be lived by you and me
