lyrics

SIMPLEST THING

I walk the endless causeway looking for effect
I ask a hundred questions to know answers I expect
You talk to me with a simple heart, playfully wise and true
Sometimes the hardest thing to know is knowing what not to do

Oh the day was bright and stars fell in the darkness
You showed to me a part of me I thought I'd never see
Like the silhouette of something bright
looking more you than me
It's by the only hearth I have ever warmed –
the most beautiful mystery

A thousand birds spiral inside a chimney
like symmetry in a flower reaching to be moved
but not as moved as space between bodies before touch
Sometimes the hardest thing to know is knowing not very much

I feel my feet upon a whirrld of beauty and of grace
I find my best intentions recorded on tape long erased
You bring the colour and the rain to a land so parched and dry
And sometimes the wisest thing to know is when to cease to try

Oh, the day was bright and stars fell in the darkness
You showed to me a part I thought might never be
Though I walk on these feet connected innside
a sphere way out to here ––
Still sometimes the simplest thing to do can be the hardest thing to hear
Sometimes the simplest thing to do can be the hardest thing to hear
