Lyle Lovett - Simple Song lyrics

rate me

It's a simple song for simple feeling

You see the moon and watch it rise

Across the continent the night bird sings

And somewhere someone hears its cry

So disillusioned

Keep your head down

If you do they'll never know

You'll have no answers to their questions

And they will have to let you go

And disenfranchised

Revolution

They'll take away by right what's yours

And make you martyrs of your own cause

When they don't know what cause it's for

And all deserted

Stand alerted

They'll love you when you're all alone

But you find a red rose in the morning light

You wait the night and find it gone

So hear my words with faith and passion

For what I say to you is true

And when you find the one you might become

Remember part of me is you
