Simple Song

Like the birds up in the apple trees Let the world hear this simple song Here's your smile, rusty from the tears you weep Here's your happy starlight gone beneath your feet Are your hopes locked in a jar in a cellar damp and dark There between the pickles and the peas Are you stocked up for the winter of despair Waiting for a meteor to burn your hair If you ever feel the urge to take a breather from your dirge Here's a little coin for you to keep A simple song That your heart can sing Not too long, rather short and sweet Like the birds in the apple trees Let the world hear your simple song It begins as just a flutter deep in you As it grows, you feel some yellow in your blue You can run but you can't hide When a smile begins to rise Like the Terminator wearing big red shoes A simple song That your heart can sing Not too long, rather short and sweet Like the birds in the apple trees Let the world hear your simple song A simple song That your heart can sing Not too long, rather short and sweet Like the birds in the apple trees Let the world hear your simple song A simple song That your heart can sing Not too long, rather short and sweet Like the birds in the apple trees Let the world hear your simple song Let the world hear your simple song Cause the world needs a simple song
