Lyrics:

Come and lie beside me now, my love
Come, I've always been too shy in love
My voice is narrow
And a boy ain't supposed to cry
Until tomorrow:

Let me down gently
Let me down gently
Let me down gently
I'm too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly

Knowing you will always be a trial
Knowing that you only stay a while
My deepest horror
And I know I ain't supposed to cry
I'm safe from sorrow

Let me down gently
Let me down gently
Let me down gently
I'm too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly

Let me down gently
Let me down gently
Let me down gently
I'm too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly
