We sat around the table and drank a bottle of wine
And it poured around us like a moat till no one could get us, and I was fine
And I said, "Haven't I paid my dues by now, haven't I paid my dues by now
Haven't I paid my dues by now, don't I get the right to choose?
And I choose you to take up all of my time
I choose you because you're funny and kind
I want easy people from now on"

Easy people...

For you I would give the songs I write, the words I pray, the morning light
That comes into this room today, if you would only rise, if you would only say
"I want you, you take up all of my time
I want you because you're funny and kind
And we'll be easy from now on, from now on"
