[Verse 1] I wake with the gulls on the tin roof And the kettle starts to sing Your boots by the door, my shirt on the chair Like the whole house learned our thing We split one peach on the back step And grin at the juice on our hands Little cat circles the milk pail While you pull me up to dance [Pre-Chorus] And the day goes soft and slow When your fingers find mine Even the old screen door Keeps time [Chorus] Keep it simple, keep it sweet We got two feet and a wooden floor Keep it simple, keep it sweet Turn me once and ask for more Oh, simple life Oh, simple love (simple life, simple love) [Verse 2] Saturday dust on the front path And rain in the bean patch rows You hum in the yard with the laundry line And the whole world already knows We fix the crack in the teacup With a stripe of shining glue Then you laugh at my crooked woodcut Saying, “That one looks like you” [Pre-Chorus] And the day goes soft and slow When your fingers find mine Even the old screen door Keeps time [Chorus] Keep it simple, keep it sweet We got two feet and a wooden floor Keep it simple, keep it sweet Turn me once and ask for more Oh, simple life Oh, simple love (simple life, simple love) [Bridge] If the money runs thin, we’ll still have this Your head on my shoulder in the porch swing mist A pie in the oven, a song half-known And a home that grows from the seeds we’ve sewn [Chorus] Keep it simple, keep it sweet We got two feet and a wooden floor Keep it simple, keep it sweet Turn me once and ask for more Oh, simple life Oh, simple love (simple life, simple love) [Outro] Let the night come in, let the crickets play I’m right where I’d choose to stay You and me in the soft lamplight Turning our little world all night
