[Verse 1] I split the peaches with my knife You set the jars in rows Sunlight leaning on the sink Like it hates to go Bare feet on the kitchen boards Dog asleep by the door You laugh at the dust on my shirt Like it’s something more [Pre-Chorus] And the whole wide world can wait By the fence and the beans We’ve got supper on the stove And two worn-out jeans [Chorus] Simple life, simple love That’s enough, that’s enough Your hand in mine Fitting like it was made Simple life, simple love Even when the day turns rough We come home To the same old shade (simple life, simple love) [Verse 2] I mend the screen with twine and wire You water down the row We count the hens and the missing nails And watch the last light glow Your mother’s quilt on the cedar chest My coat by the hall Nothing fancy in this little room But it holds us all [Pre-Chorus] And the sky goes copper slow Over the hill, over the lane I don’t need a sweeter road I know your name [Chorus] Simple life, simple love That’s enough, that’s enough Your hand in mine Fitting like it was made Simple life, simple love Even when the day turns rough We come home To the same old shade (simple life, simple love) [Bridge] If the roof leaks in the spring We’ll patch it up together If the river climbs the bank We’ll wait out any weather I don’t ask for more than this Your chair close to my own A little bread, a little song And a heart that feels like home [Final Chorus] Simple life, simple love That’s enough, that’s enough Your hand in mine Fitting like it was made Simple life, simple love Till the stars come one by one We come home To the same old shade (simple life, simple love)
