Gently Lyrics

We both grew up in houses on fire

And learned to love the warmth

But darling I don't want to hurt you

So maybe we should move up north

And oh we'll make a home

With gentle words and soft lighting

And our walls will never know

What it's like to be burning

Oh darling, my darling

I will always love you gently

My love, I will help you bandage old wounds

And we'll heal together in quiet afternoons

And you'll never have to wonder if I love you

Because I will show you that I do

Oh how I do

And oh we'll make a home

With gentle words and soft lighting

And our walls will never know

What it's like to be burning

Oh darling, my darling

I will always love you gently

I know it won't always be easy

But even when we are fighting

I will fight calmly

We will fight calmly

And there will never be screaming

Or words we're not meaning

Oh we will not fuel the fire that we grew up knowing

Oh we'll make a home

With gentle words and soft lighting

And our walls will never know

What it's like to be burning

Oh darling, my darling

I will always love you gently

Oh I promise that I will always love you gently
