Simple Life Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

I want a simple life, like my mother 

One true love for my older years 

I dont want your wars to take my children 

I want a simple life while Im here 

The sun and moon walk hand in hand together 

Trading places shining on the truth 

The moon moves the bottoms of the oceans 

So, the sun can bring a farmers hands to you 

I want a simple life, like my mother 

One true love for my older years 

I dont want your wars to take my children 

I want a simple life while Im here 

We all seek comfort in the light of day 

And our tears can wash off in the rain 

Everything we need is all around us 

In simple time and simple ways 

Mother nature talks 

Whispering her thoughts 

So the paths we choose to cross 

Walk one more day 

I want a simple life, like my mother 

And one true love for my older years 

I dont want your wars to take my children 

I want a simple life while Im here 

I want a simple life while Im here
