One Simple Thing

Willy Mason - "One Simple Thing" through the courtesy of Team Love Records.

Oh my darling, how I wish I could see through
the eyes of an eagle seeing you seeing me.
Then maybe I'd know, there's one simple thing:

Do I bring you sorrow or bring you relief?

I must know the answer, I need to know now.
I called to my baby, I called to her loud.
I called her so jealous, I called to her so mean.
I can tell by her eyes, there's one simple thing.

And I watch her slip right into the crowd.
Led up to a man and wrapped her arms around.
How did he get so close to my queen?
He must be the answer, to that one simple thing.

Once I made her smile, I made her smile so.
And that smile poured heaven right into my soul.
Until I went to her house with nothing to bring,
and I started to wonder about that one simple thing.

I'll tell you a story, a story I'll tell.
A boy walks through heaven and thinks that it's Hell.
Until he knows is one simple thing:

Do his footsteps bring sorrow or carry relief?



I love folk music, yo.

Your friend,
Alex
