Simple Things (Elton John & Brandi Carlile)
erschienen auf dem Album The Lockdown Sessions
Musik und Text: Elton John, Andrew Wotman, Roman Anthony Campolo
As an old
man, I'm a young man
'Cause I've not been old for long And before these trembling waters settle I'll have flown the pond So I don't mean to be morbid Or a bit too on the nose But I'd like to share a few things That I've learned along the road
What
you'll find chasing dreams
Is the finish line recedes And the riddle stays a riddle Oh, the humor's bittersweet All nature does is dance So when you dance you're in accord Look no further than the feeling That it gives you for reward, reward, reward, reward
Simple things, hard to learn
Fire is hot, burn, burn, burn Simple truth, hard to see Not what you want, but what you need
I've been
a sleepwalker, a cheap talker
A sly grin, a discreet offer I've held steady for a gaze I've led a lover through a maze I've thrown bottles at the wall When someone forgot to call I've done all the things a wild heart will do I will do
What
you'll find chasing dreams
Simple things, hard to learn Simple things,
hard to learn © 2021
