Lyrics Compassionate Man - Olivia Newton-John

Compassionate Man

Love you were kind and much older
Foolish but wiser than me Am I becoming an anchor
Holding you back from the sea
Restlessly you stand there, crying silently
It must be so hard being easy on me Compassionate man, so gentle
Trying hard to shelter me Compassionate man, so kind
But the bottom line will be what it will be You’re leaving me, leaving me Love, my whole life was a desert
Then gently your love fell like rain
We lived for awhile in a garden
But now I’m a desert again
Come right out and say it Tell me honestly
It must be so hard being easy on me Compassionate man, so gentle
Trying hard to shelter me Compassionate man, so kind
But the bottom line will be what it will be You’re leaving me, leaving me You’re leaving me You’re leaving me You’re leaving me
