Lyrics

JUST A SIMPLE SONG –
A melody and quiet chords
And when the music’s gone
And you are left with only words
If words alone can’t tell the story
And all you write comes out all wrong
It really doesn’t matter
It’s JUST A SIMPLE SONG

Just a simple lie –
I said I wasn’t when I was
I’ve got no alibi
I told that story just because
But when that first lie is spoken
Another’s sure to come along
But it really hardly matters
It’s JUST A SIMPLE SONG

Just a simple phrase – “I’m sorry.”
Nothing more
A subject and a predicate
Left dangling by the door
Words alone can’t span the distance
When the bridge you’ve built is gone
That’s really all that matters
It’s JUST A SIMPLE SONG.
