Here on the edge of the forest
You ask me [G]
to stay
[F]
You ask me to be your lady
Here at the close of [Cm] the day
And [F] what can I say?
[C] Another [F] day, another time, and I might have said
Yes, you're so easy to hold on to, I guess
But I cannot forget all the dark promises I've made
And it would be so easy just to let Larry me away

The girl you see could never be the things that you dream
I could never walk behind you, never hurt, only see
And these are things I know that I must have for my own
A strength to go forward, a strength to carry on alone
And alone I will wander
Sometimes my thoughts will be [C] of you
[F]
And in time you may understand me
And all the soft things [G] I do will be echoes of [F] my time with you
Another day, another time, and I might have said
Yes, [C] you're so easy to hold on to, [F] and I love you, I guess
But I cannot forget all the dark promises I've made
And it would [C] be so easy [F] just to let Larry me away
