Simple Man

Hold me, hold me closer

You whisper, as the sun sets on our gaze

Night falls on our small town
The days heat slowly dissipates

Embers of the fire

Remnants of time we shared
You're busy now with supper
Watching as you prepare
What do you see in me?

Im only but a simple man
Trying to build a home

With a bit of straw and sand
Im only but a simple man
Soft is my heart
Rough are my hands

Im only but a simple man
Someone you can talk to
Easy to understand

Dancing barefoot around the kitchen

At times you play the violin

I have come to many riches
In the sounds of the children

Pictures, you keep on the table
Flowers dangle the windowsill
Front door you like to keep open
Often I wonder why you don't leave
What do you see in me?

Im old and I'm young
Im weak and I'm strong

Im grateful for a women like you
(Im grateful that I have you)
