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 aint easy

Like a broke kite string

Today wasnt 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 dont 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 wouldnt give

For your company

(Chorus)
