[Verse 1] I kept my shoes by the door And my worries in a tin Mama said, “Take what you need” Then she handed me a grin We had one porch and one lamp One chair with a crooked leg But your hand fit mine so easy Like a promise without a peg [Pre-Chorus] And I learned You can start with less A little хлеб, a little rain And still call it blessed [Chorus] Simple life, simple love That’s the road we’ve walked Simple life, simple love That’s the way we talk Two small hands, one big sky We keep on moving through Simple life, simple love I make it home with you (simple life, simple love) (simple life, simple love) [Verse 2] We split the last green apple On a stump behind the shed You laughed when the screen door shook And the dog climbed into bed The county line got rough that fall The work went thin and slow Still you sang while washing dishes Like you knew what I should know [Pre-Chorus] That a hard year Don’t own my name If the fire stays low It still can warm the frame [Chorus] Simple life, simple love That’s the road we’ve walked Simple life, simple love That’s the way we talk Two small hands, one big sky We keep on moving through Simple life, simple love I make it home with you (simple life, simple love) (simple life, simple love) [Bridge] When the floorboard groaned at midnight And the roof let in the rain We made a quilt from old receipts And called the night by name No gold on our fingers No grand parade in sight Just your voice in the dark saying “We’re alright, we’re alright” [Chorus] Simple life, simple love That’s the road we’ve walked Simple life, simple love That’s the way we talk Two small hands, one big sky We keep on moving through Simple life, simple love I make it home with you (simple life, simple love) (simple life, simple love)
