[Verse 1] I wake up slow with the sparrows Kiss the rain off the pane The blue tin kettle starts talking While you tie your shoes again You laugh at the broken screen door You call it good enough And that crooked little hallway Feels like more than enough [Pre-Chorus] We got bread in the cupboard And dirt on our knees A Sunday kind of waiting In the shade of the trees [Chorus] Simple life, simple love Your hand fits mine like a glove Simple life, simple love (keep it close) keep it enough We don’t need more, we don’t need grand Just your name in my hand Simple life, simple love Simple life, simple love [Verse 2] We plant beans by the fence line And tomatoes in tin Our old dog digs a small hole Then lies right back in You sing off-key at supper I sing worse than you do And somehow that’s the best tune I ever got from you [Pre-Chorus] The moon climbs over the barn roof The crickets start in tune I’d choose this wide plain evening Over any gold room [Chorus] Simple life, simple love Your hand fits mine like a glove Simple life, simple love (keep it close) keep it enough We don’t need more, we don’t need grand Just your name in my hand Simple life, simple love Simple life, simple love [Bridge] If the fence leans tomorrow We’ll stand it up straight If the jar runs low on honey We’ll laugh and we’ll wait I’ve seen finer houses But none felt this right With your elbow on the table And your eyes in the light [Chorus] Simple life, simple love Your hand fits mine like a glove Simple life, simple love (keep it close) keep it enough We don’t need more, we don’t need grand Just your name in my hand Simple life, simple love Simple life, simple love
