Simple Things

Rain forest talking to the dragon-mountain-Moon
Stars infest the heavens in the southern skies
Otter swim against the river
Whisper in the water
The stars are dead
And what you see are shining lies

Body-smoke tie the night
In a misty web of blue
Simple things are all we have left to trust
An apple, a horse
Some milk and a little bread
Will help time stop slipping through our fingers

M-oh-hum-oh
M-oh-hum-oh
What you got left to trust?
Stones in the dust!
A simple thing you got left to trust
Someone in your heart singing

Crickets learn the final chorus
Of their night song
Standing at your door
'Cause I have nowhere else to go
Tried to fill the empty spaces with my songs
Came here 'cause I know
You also sometimes feel this way

I brought an apple, a horse
Some milk and a little bread
Simple things are all we have left to trust
I hope I will not find you
Smiling in a dream
For I have come too far
To face again what I have lost
