Ease Down The Road Lyrics - Singles - Bonnie Prince Billy

i took her on a simple trip 

to see her husbands family 

and on the way upon her hip 

was laid my head down gently 

all due respect was meant and all 

the winds were in agreement 

that this was answering the call 

of awkward and true feeling 

a fireman her husband was 

and so to give him duty 

i duly tried to light a fire 

upon his rightful booty 

but beauty was my treasure then 

as through the hills i drove her 

and taught her that another man 

could have made love to her 

strange is good if it is kept 

a secret with the lovers 

who love their mates 

and love themselves 

and need the love of others 

through the window i could see 

the fields and clouds all passing 

as in the passenger position 

eleanor was thrashing 

i stopped the car we got a beer 

and then eased down the road 

a little guilt, and some guilt spilt 

and added to our load
