How Will I Ever Be Simple Again Songtext
von Marley’s Ghost

She danced through the streets with the guns all around her
All torn like a rag doll, barefoot in the rain
And she sang like a child, "Turaloo, turalady

Oh, how will I ever be simple again?"

And 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?


War was my love and my friend and companion
What did I care for the pretty and gay?
But her smile was so clear and my heart was so troubled

Oh, how will I ever be simple again?

In a poor burned-out house I sat down at her table
And the smell of her hair was like cornfields in May
And I wanted to weep but my eyes ached from crying

Oh, how will I ever be simple again?

So graceful she moved through the dust and the ruins
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?

How will I ever be simple again?
