《A Simple Thing as Love》歌词

[00:00:00] A Simple Thing as Love - Leroy Van Dyke

[00:00:04] When you come across unto me

[00:00:06] With your hair the tangled grass of evening breezes

[00:00:12] And you do not hide your face

[00:00:13] Because somebody said one time it wasn't natural

[00:00:20] What a joy for us just running down

[00:00:22] This crooked trail of midnight

[00:00:24] And the peaceful things inside me that it does

[00:00:30] Then you whisper low

[00:00:31] I have to go the acid tears start coming slow

[00:00:34] To complicate a simple thing as love

[00:00:40] Awake now I don't hear the floorboards a creaking

[00:00:43] As you walk back from the window

[00:00:48] Or feel your satin fingers drawing

[00:00:50] Patterns on my back

[00:00:52] Where I lay dying

[00:00:57] Without you I'm a child

[00:00:58] Who sucks the vacant thumb of emptiness

[00:01:00] Left crying when he has not had enough

[00:01:06] At the mercy of an empty room sing verses

[00:01:09] To some faded wall

[00:01:10] Confused about a simple thing as love

[00:01:18] It's too bad we couldn't stay here till the clock runs out

[00:01:21] And falls from sheer exhaustion

[00:01:26] Or till morning when I watch you as you stoop

[00:01:29] To pick your things up from the floor

[00:01:34] But too soon for us

[00:01:35] It's over in the shock of the electric lightbulb

[00:01:39] Sunrise in the ceiling up above

[00:01:44] As it dangles to remind us of

[00:01:46] The spiderweb that binds us

[00:01:48] And just complicates a simple thing as love

[00:01:55] Awake now I don't hear the floorboard a creaking

[00:01:57] As you walk back from the window

[00:02:02] Or feel your satin fingers drawing patterns on my back

[00:02:06] Where I lay dying

[00:02:11] Without you I'm a child

[00:02:12] Who sucks the vacant thumb of emptiness

[00:02:14] Left crying when he has not had enough

[00:02:20] At the mercy of an empty room

[00:02:22] Sing verses to some faded wall

[00:02:25] Confused about a simple thing as love
