How Will I Ever Be Simple Again 

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, toora-day toora-daddy 

Oh how will I ever be simple again 

She sat by the banks of the dirty grey 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 

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 burned-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 ruin 

And happy she was in her dances and games 

Oh teach me to see with your innocent eyes, love
