Simple Things Songtext
von Eliza Carthy

Simple things, simple things are what I get from you
Simple things are what you somehow bring
And peace of mind, trouble far behind

When I′m near, when I'm near I′m all but touching you
When I'm here I breathe best by your side
My heart bothers me so like water in the overflow

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

Everything, everything my mother said was true
There's a man who′ll take your fears away
And he′ll give you his, my darling that's just how love is


All my nights, all my days are left for dreaming you
Winter cold, I′ll be warm in your lap like a girl
And when you're gone the sun will find me sleeping on

You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

See me come, see me go like broken bits of you
Years and years will be gone before she′s back again
This slow smothers me so like water in the overflow
My heart bothers me so like water in the overflow
My heart bothers me so like water in the overflow

I'll cry you and then I′ll defy you
I'll hold you and then I'll scold you
I′ll charm you and then I′ll hold you
I sent my tears the fastest way
The tide will bring them twice a day
