Why Was It So Easy

(album: Sacred Songs - 1980)

The light from your star is glowing
Yeah, I see you in the magazine
Your face seems older now, more knowing
But I prefer a woman to a teenage queen
The wine and the confusion
It's your game and you play it so cool
That night seems like an illusion
In your hotel room

German eyes, blonde disguise
Never really knew who I was talking to
But if you're supposed to be such a mystery
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Why was it so easy for me to be with you

Too much time has come between us
And the sad words that I hear you say
Must mean you don't hold me inside you
But I guess it couldn't go any other way
That night is so far behind us
The words are changed and so is the time
I only hope that you think of me
In a hotel room

Oh those eyes, blonde disguise
Never really knew who I was talking to
But if you're supposed to be such a mystery
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
Why was it so easy for me to be with you
