Easy to Love You
Embracing the Undefined: Grateful Dead's Easy to Love You
Lyrics
Good, good morning so good to see you
Expressing joy and pleasure at seeing someone in the morning.
Weren't just a dream of mine
Confirming that the person is not just a figment of imagination but a reality.
Real as a raven, real as thunder
Comparing the reality of the person to powerful and tangible elements like a raven and thunder.
Real as the sun shinin'
Continuing to emphasize the realness of the person, using the analogy of the sun shining.
But still so very undefined
Describing the person as still not completely understood or defined.
Can't imagine what's
Expressing difficulty in imagining or understanding what lies behind the person's sleepy eyes.
Behind those sleepy eyes
Suggesting a sense of mystery or hidden depth in the person.
Little stranger, don't try to hide now
Encouraging the person not to hide and noting their youthful appearance when fearful.
You look so young when you're afraid
Assuring that there is no real danger, except from the Devil.
There is no danger but from the Devil
Acknowledging the Devil's interest but asserting protective interference.
He may want you but I'm in His way
Reiterating the idea that the singer stands between the Devil and the person.
You don't know how easy it is
Expressing that the person underestimates how easy it is to be loved.
You don't know how easy it is to love you
Repeating the sentiment that the person is unaware of the ease with which they can be loved.
And come the moon rise, when the dew falls
Referring to the moonrise and dew falling, cautioning against being a fading sun.
Don't be the sun that fades away
Warning against fading away like the sun and emphasizing the importance of not leaving darkness.
Don't leave me darkness
Highlighting that darkness is not a lover and it conceals the day.
She is no lover, she hides the day
No specific meaning, possibly an extension of the caution against darkness.
You don't know how easy it is
Reiterating the theme of the person's unawareness of how easily they can be loved.
You don't know how easy it is to love you
Restating the notion that the person is oblivious to the simplicity of being loved.
You don't know how easy it is
