Simple Things

[Verse 1]
Rain forest talking to the dragon-mountain-moon
Stars infest the heavens in the southern skies
Otter swim against the river, whisper in the water
The stars are dead and what you see are shining lies
Body-smoke tie the night in a misty web of blue
Simple things are all we have left to trust
An apple, a horse, some milk and a little bread
Will help time stop slipping through our fingers

[Chorus]
M-oh-hum-oh, M-oh-hum-oh
M-oh-hum-oh, M-oh-hum-oh
What you got left to trust? (M-oh-hum)
Stones in the dust! (M-oh-hum)
A simple thing you got left to trust (M-oh-hum)
Someone in your heart (M-oh-hum)

[Verse 2]
Crickets learn the final chorus of their night song
Standing at your door 'cause I have nowhere else to go
Tried to fill the empty spaces with my songs
Came here 'cause I know you sometimes also feel this way
I brought an apple and a horse, some milk and a little bread
These simple things are all we have to trust
I hope I will not find you smiling in a dream
I've come too far to face again what I have passed

[Chorus]
M-oh-hum-oh, M-oh-hum-oh
M-oh-hum-oh, M-oh-hum-oh
What you got left to trust? (M-oh-hum)
Stones in the dust! (M-oh-hum)
A simple thing you got left to trust (M-oh-hum)
Someone in your heart (M-oh-hum)
