Well this is just a simple song
To say what you've done
I told you about all those fears
And away they did run
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
Made warm by the sun
When I was just 9 years old
I swear that I dreamt
Your face on a football field
And a kiss that I kept
Under my vest
Apart from everything but the heart in my chest
I know that things can really get rough
When you go it alone
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough
And play like a stone
Could be there's nothing else in our
lives so critical as this little home
My life in an upturned boat
Marooned on a cliff
You brought me a great big flood
And you gave me a lift
Girl, what a gift. And you tell me
with your tongue and your breath was in my lungs
And you float over the rift
I know that things can really get rough
When you go it alone
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough
And play like a stone
Could be there's nothing else in our
lives so critical as this little home
Well this'll be a simple song
To say what you've done
I told you about all those fears
And away they did run
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
Made warm by the sun
Remember walking a mile to your house
Aglow in the dark
I made a fumblin' play for your heart
And the act struck a spark
You wore a charm on a chain that I stole
Especially for you
Love's just a delicate thing that we do
We've nothing to prove
Which I never knew
