A Simple Song - Colin Hay

I do like a simple song

Where everyone can sing along

It doesn’t matter where you’re from

Most people like a simple song

It sure is sweet to fall in love

Feels like a gift from up above

Can’t seem to ever get enough

Yeah it sure is cool to fall in love

But things don’t often stay the same

She says she wants to give you back your name

It’s never simple who’s to blame

And it always gets so complicated

One day you wake up on your own

If I had kis they’d all be grown

Of all the people I have known

True friends there’s not too many

But I don’t want to bring you down

And I still get to play from town to town

There still is magic all around

And when I hit the ground I’m running

I don’t want to die alone

Where I cannot reach the phone

In my multi-story home

No I don’t want to die alone

It’s not preyin' on my mind

But I do think about it from time to time

And it’s not likely to happen soon

But you may not even see it coming

So help me sing this simple song

Where everyone can sing along

It doesn’t natter where you’re from

One day we’re here and then we’re gone
