Heaven Go Easy On Me Lyrics

God, what are we doin'?
Can't live this way forever
Gotta make ourselves some money
Or be thrown out with the bathwater

My sister and my brother
Look to me for answers
And our fathers and our mothers
Wanna know they raised us right
Wanna know they raised us right

Is it that the good life is the simple one
(Sittin' in the lawn watchin' leaves go by)
Readin' good books and playin' songs

Watchin' the wind blow through your front yard
Don't follow your head
Follow your heart

And while you're sittin' all alone in your room on your bed
And your windows are open but you won't go out, no
Ah, heaven go easy on me

And while you're sittin' all alone in your room on your bed
And your windows are open but you won't go out, no
Ah, heaven go easy on me

It's damn good to've met you, I hope that you stay
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
We're well on our way
(All these things are rushing by)
(All these things are rushing by)
(All these things are rushing by)
(All these things are rushing by)
(All these things are rushing by)
(continued in background)

All things must end, darlin'
All things must end, darlin'
All things must end, darlin'
All things must end, darlin'
(All these things are rushing by)
(All these things are rushing by)

Ah, heaven go easy on me

The Head and the Heart is a folk band which formed in 2009 in Seattle, Washington, United States. The band consists of Josiah Johnson (vocals, guitar), Jonathan Russell (vocals, guitar), Charity Rose Thielen (violin, vocals), Chris Zasche (bass), Kenny Hensley (keyboards) and Tyler Williams (drums).

Composed primarily of transplants to the Seattle area, The Head and the Heart write and play songs that speak to the newness of a fresh start, of the ghosts left behind, of moving forward, all brimming with a soulfulness and hope for a better life than the one we've all been sold.

Stylistically, think a folksy Beatles or The Avett Brothers with a little extra oomph. Catchy piano melodies stand side by side with a tight trio of harmonies, and solid minimalist drums, groovin' bass, and plenty of hand percussion and foot stomps make the live show inspiring and really goddamn fun.

After the band self-released its eponymous debut album in June 2010, the emblematic Seattle label Sub Pop re-released the album. For the Sub Pop version, the song “Sounds like Hallelujah” has been re-recorded, live favorite “Rivers and Roads” has been added, and the album has been re-mastered. Read more on Last.fm.
