Simple Things — Vance Gilbert
(xo to John Prine)
Pink ripe peaches
In a pretty glass bowl
Goldfinch chirping
On the telephone pole
Clothes line hummin’
I can hear it sing
When the wind is a blowing
Through everything
Last day of winter
First day of spring
Living ain’t easy
Like a broke kite string
Today wasn’t nothing
See what tomorrow brings
Trying to make a life
Out of simple things
Kitchen table covered
With magazines
Fresh cup of coffee
Franks and beans
Daffodils blooming
By the garden stairs
I don’t remember
Ever planting them there
(chorus
Whippoorwill whistling
Robin on the wing
Fresh cut apple
Telephone ring
Any interruption
Good enough for me
What I wouldn’t give
For your company
(Chorus)
