Alison Easy

A nice simple folky song... but is it about a saint or a lady of easy virtue? Maybe both, I guess! I wrote this during an hour’s drive with Mr Kumar up through the foothills of the Himalaya to Manali, tune included (which I sang into my pocket book on arrival) but given the context I’ve no idea where the idea came from. Particularly odd as during the same trip I also wrote the very different ‘fingertips don’t lie’ that’s on German Hat trick.

RAK 10 Alison Easy (Steve Franks harmonies) (Himalaya)

C G F C
Alison Easy lives on a hill
F C G C
Dispensing her love for the good or the ill
C G F C
Alison Easy faithless unwise
F C G
Wearing her angel’s disguise

Alison Easy lives all alone
Waiting for strangers their sins to atone for
She waits at the window, lamp burning bright
Spreading her joy through the night

F Em Am
What’s that you say, Alison Easy
Bb Am
Live for the moment that’s all that there is
F Em Am
Holding sway, Alison Easy
G
Capture the world with the power of your gift

Alison Easy, lady of light
Although your thoughts for your future are slight
Alison Easy, gentle and kind
Changing the world in you mind

Instrumental verse

What’s that you say, Alison Easy
Live for the moment that’s all that there is
Holding sway, Alison Easy
Capture the world with the power of your gift

Alison Easy, lady of light
Although your thoughts for your future are slight
Alison Easy, gift from above
Healing the world with your love
