It Was So Easy

It Was So Easy - from No Secrets 1972 I remember a time Rompin’ through the woods Sun against our skin instead of clothes When we felt hungry we would eat When we felt glad we would dance And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze It was so easy then Never takin’ any stands It was so easy then Holdin’ hands I remember a time When our fears could be named And courage meant not refusing dares I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks No only on the squares Or else we’d be abducted by the bears It was so easy then Never makin’ any plans It was so easy then Holdin’ hands It was so easy then Never makin’ any plans It was so easy then Holdin’ hands And now we are grown With debts and regrets And broken hearts And sentimental schemes Now every tender failure Seems to overthrow old dreams Love can drive a normal woman to extremes It was so easy then Never takin’ any stands It was so easy then Holdin’ hands It was so easy then Holdin’ hands
