1st March 2002. Enjoy the feast day of St DAVID

Feeling a little nostalgic, I came across this little oldie and thought that it stand a little revival, if we can get all the words right between us. Anybody add the missing bits / verify the rest?
LET ME DOWN EASY (Ralph McTell)

How can I say it
It's just something I feel way down inside
So hard to begin to try to explain it
But something's goin' wrong
You're ………………………

CHORUS: Let me down easy, baby
Be so kind as to let me down slow
Let me down easy, baby
It's so hard to let go

We are not driftin'
Not with one of us still at all in the line
And the wind now has moved you such a safe liftin'
Blows corn on the water, who got cut loose behind
CHORUS

How can I say it
It's just something I know from way down inside
No use for you to try to concede…
………….to know that you tried
CHORUS

Many thanks, colleagues. Bradfordian.

So hard to begin to try to explain it
But something's gone wrong
You're unable to hide

CHORUS: Let me down easy, baby
Be so kind as to let me down slow
Let me down easy, baby
It's so hard to let go

We are not drifting
Not with one of us still left holding the line
And the wind that has moved you set your sails lifting
Blows cold on the one who got cut loose behind
CHORUS

How can I say it?
It's just something I know from way down inside
No use for you to try to conceal it
Its enough for me to know that you tried
