Simple Song
It’s a simple song for simple feelings. You see the moon and
you watch it rise.
Across the continent a night bird sings, and someone somewhere
hears its cry.
So disillusion, keep your head down. ‘Cause if you do, they’ll
never know.
You’ll have no answers to their questions. And they will have
to let you go.
A disenfranchised revolution will take away by rights what’s
yours,
And make you martyrs in their own cause, but they don’t know what
cause it’s for.
All deserted stand alerted. They love you when you’re all alone.
You’ll find your repose in the morning light. And wake the night
to find it gone.
So hear my works oh Lady Passion. For what I say to you is true.
When you find the one you might become, remember part of me is
you.
Lyle Lovett.
