Simple Song Songtext
von Noe Venable

A traveler stops at the old inn yard
It has been so many miles and it′s been so hard
I've grown silver as a widow since then
Now a traveler has come to see me again

He has the mouth of a river, face of a child
But don′t forget what he's hiding underneath his smile
An old silver splinter that he left inside of me
Oh, don't forget, mmm
I could not walk at all, you know that
I could not, I could not walk at all


Then he began so slowly
I could feel his word beginning to undo me
Slow rivers awoke in my shoulders, in my legs
Slow rivers awoke, I was floating away
And beauty is tired of playing dead
And beauty is tired of hiding her head
I look over to the window

I look over to the window

I could feel the droplets hanging on the edges of my leaves
I could feel the tears coming and I couldn′t believe
I look over to the window

And beauty is tired of playing dead
And beauty is tired of hiding her head
And beauty is tired of playing dead
And beauty is tired of hiding her head
Oh, beauty is tired of playing dead
Oh, beauty is tired, so tired, well

So I gave up and sang along
And I rode off on the wings of a sad old song
