John Hartford - A Simple Thing as Love lyrics
As you come across unto me with your hair The tangled grass of evening breezes And you do not hide your face because Somebody said on time it wasn't natural What a joy for us just running down This crooked trail of midnight And the peaceful things inside me that it does Then you whisper low I have to go The acid tears start coming slow To complicate a simple thing as love Chorus Awake now I don't hear the floorboards creaking As you walk back from the window Or feel your satin fingers drawing patterns On my back where I lay dying Without you I'm a child who sucks the vacant fum Of emptiness left crying When he has not had enough At the mercy of an empty room Sing verses to some faded wall Confused about a simple thing as love It's to bad we couldn't stay here 'til the clock Runs out and falls from sheer exhaustion Or 'til morning as I watch you As you stoop to pick your things up from the floor But to soon for us it's over And the shock of the electric light bulb sunrise From the ceiling up above As it dangles to remind us Of the spiderweb that binds us And just complicates a simple thin as love Chorus Awake now I don't hear the floorboards creaking As you walk back from the window Or feel your satin fingers drawing patterns On my back where I lay dying Without you I'm a child who sucks the vacant fum Of emptiness left crying When he has not had enough At the mercy of an empty room Sing verses to some faded wall Confused about a simple thing as love |
