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
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

Simple things, hard to learn
Fire is hot, burn, burn, burn
Simple truth, hard to see
Not what you want, but what you need

Simple things, hard to learn
Fire is hot, burn, burn, burn
Simple truth, hard to see
Not what you want, but what you need
