So Easy Lyrics

It's a summer rain
You stand on the porch in your cotton blouse
Watch the raindrops falling through the linden trees
That grow around the house
And you're thinking; I've had too many lovers
You picture them all back through the years
As a line follows the curve of the earth
'Til it disappears
It's so easy, so easy, it's so easy

Summer nights when darkness fell
And fireflies hovered winking on
You were a child in a pale nightgown
Running barefoot across the lawn
And fireflies were an easy catch
You see it now as a flawed design
But then you held magic in your hands
Watch the little lights shine
It's so easy, so easy, it's so easy
So easy, so easy

How could you grow up jaded
Here where summer rains fall sweet
On ragged rows of white petunias
The air smells like wet concrete
And you wonder what you're missing
It's something you don't understand
'Cause everything you ever reached for
Fell into your hand
It's so easy, so easy, it's so easy
So easy, so easy
