Simple Song

[Chorus]
Happy to see you
Every time I see you coming my way
I get so excited, baby
And calm somehow deep down inside
I just wanna state this simply
Inside this simple song
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you

[Post-Chorus]
I love it when we're out walking
Your arm entwined in mine
I love how it's unfolding
I love how we're just taking our time
Who knows where we're going?
It's nothing we can guide
I just wanna be in this, babe
I just wanna be inside
Your beautiful eyes
I just wanna be inside
Beautiful eyes

[Verse 1]
I never said grace before dinner
Ever since my father died
And when we prayed in Soul Kitchen last night
You know it felt so sweet inside
But this is just a simple song

[Verse 2]
I wish you could've met my father, baby
I know he would have enjoyed you
He was complex in his own way
But he was a good and simple man too
And I don't mean to make you nervous
But you know I wish you could've met my mother too
She swung from vivacious to blue
And encouraged me in all the things I ever wanted to do
But this is just a simple song
This is just a simple song

[Verse 3]
You know, sometimes in this life
I wonder how anyone makes it through
You know, lay down in your final hour
Without worrying about the things
That you wonder if you could undo
But this is just a simple song

[Chorus]
I'm happy to see you
Every time I see you coming my way
I get so excited, baby
And calm somehow deep down inside
I just wanna state this simply
Inside this simple song
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love

[Post-Chorus]
I love it when we're out walking
Your arm entwined in mine
I love how it's unfolding
I love how we're just taking our time
Who knows where we're going?
It's nothing we can guide
I just wanna be in this, baby
I just wanna be inside

[Verse 4]
I'm turning my back on words now
No more weighing the worth of observations
The poet's voice dried with the thirst for perfection
And I just wanna sing a simple song

[Verse 5]
I could feel the empty eggshells
Of dreams in the hollow of my skull
Blown by taunting winds across floors
Of a remembrance of an enthusiasm when
As a young boy full of trust and belief in the ether
And my own ability to pull the sword from the stone
I could envision it all
Breathe life into it and give it wings
Hold the gift of "dove" in my hands and set it free
Where do the souls of unrealized dreams go?
Do they twist and turn with incompletion?
Or vaporize like butterflies in fields of Zen-like resolution?
I'm turning my back on words now
I just wanna sing a simple song

[Verse 6]
And all the while the wind was in the willows
And the seven pillars was in my wisdom
The seven pillars was in my winsome

[Chorus]
I'm happy to see you
Every time I see you coming my way
I get so excited, baby
And calm somehow deep down inside
I just wanna state this simply
Inside this simple song
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you
