lyrics

“Your simple songs they’re the best”
She said to me
“They’re the best of all your rest
Just some simple chords and words
To go along
No need to strain your brain”

“Lately I’ve been gone
But now I’ve got some time
I can help you find your style
Between the two of us
We could make a lot of money
But you’d have to change your style”

Well it’s my style and I like it
The way it is
Maybe that makes me stubborn
Maybe that makes me what I am

“Your simple songs they’re the best”
She said to me

When I look at me then I see
A past that’s full of years and tears
But look at me now
I come to you and fall for you

When I look at you then I see
A past that’s full of tears and fears
But look at you now
You’re calm when I am near
