How Will I Ever Be Simple Again Songtext
von De Danann

Oh, she danced in the street with the guns all around her
All torn like a rag doll, barefoot in the rain
And she sang like a child to her dad, to her daddy

Oh, how will I ever be simple again?

She sat by the banks of the dirty gray river
And tried for a fish with a worm on a pin
There was nothing but fever and ghosts in the water

Oh, how will I ever be simple again?


Poor was my love and my friend and companion
And what did I care for the pretty and plain?
But her smile was so clear and my heart was so troubled

Oh, how will I ever be simple again?

In her poor burnt-out house I sat at her table
The smell of her hair was like cornfields in May
And I wanted to weep and my eyes ached from trying

Oh, how will I ever be simple again?

So graceful she moved through the dust and the room
And happy she was in her dances and games
Oh, teach me to see with your innocent eyes, love

Oh, how will I ever be simple again?

Oh, how will I ever be simple again?
