[Verse 1] [F] We keep bread on the sill And beans in a blue tin pan [Harmony] You laugh when the dog runs home Mud on his feet and grain in his mane [F] I fold my dress by the chair You patch the hole in the screen [Harmony] And the whole wide world feels small When the evening turns green [Pre-Chorus] [F] No grand roads, no golden plans Just your hand in my hand [Harmony] The river knows our names It keeps its slow, quiet span [Chorus] [F] Simple life, simple love [Harmony] Simple life, simple love [F] Your face in the fire glow [Harmony] That's all I need to know [F] Simple life, simple love [Harmony] Simple life, simple love [F] Stay here with me awhile [Harmony] And let the sunset smile [Verse 2] [F] We plant rows by the fence With seed saved from last year [Harmony] Your whistle calls the goats in And the barn swallows wheel near [F] I sing while the kettle warms You hum low, off and true [Harmony] And every little honest thing Feels made for me and you [Pre-Chorus] [F] No grand roads, no golden plans Just your hand in my hand [Harmony] The river knows our names It keeps its slow, quiet span [Chorus] [F] Simple life, simple love [Harmony] Simple life, simple love [F] Your face in the fire glow [Harmony] That's all I need to know [F] Simple life, simple love [Harmony] Simple life, simple love [F] Stay here with me awhile [Harmony] And let the sunset smile [Bridge] [Harmony] If the years go soft and thin And the winter leans in cold [F] We'll crowd close by the stove With our story still unfolding [Harmony] No crown, no heavy gold Just a quilt and a steady flame [F] Two voices in the doorway Saying each other's name [Chorus] [F] Simple life, simple love [Harmony] Simple life, simple love [F] Your face in the fire glow [Harmony] That's all I need to know [F] Simple life, simple love [Harmony] Simple life, simple love [F] Stay here with me awhile [Harmony] And let the sunset smile
