Easy Road [Film Mix Version]
Uriah Heep · Other Songs - Uriah Heep
And you're really afraid of what you're leaving behind
Take the easiest road but take care my brother
For you'll never find peace with a troubled mind
Far better to love each other than to worry so deeply
'Bout the place you're in and far better to kiss her softly
Than lookin' back on a love you'll never have again
Time's as fickle as the sky in winter
And two hearts always were better than one
Love has the wings of a tireless angel
She'll stay beside you till the day is done
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Far better to love each other than to worry so deeply
'Bout the place you're in and far better to kiss her softly
Than lookin' back on a love you'll never have again
You'll never have again
No no no, never again
You'll never have again
