I am a simple man
And I sing a simple song
Never been so much in love
I never hurt so bad
At the same time
I am a simple man
And I play a simple tune
Wish I could see you
Once again across me
Like the first time
Just wanna hold you
Don't want to hold you down
Hear what you're saying
And you're spinning my head around
I can make it I know
The ending of the tale
Is the singing of this song
Make me proud to be your man
Only you can make me strong
Like the last time
Just wanna hold you
Don't want to hold you down
Hear what you're saying
And you're spinning my head around
I can make it I know.
I took my chances on a one-way ticket home
Growing tired of strangers and the kind of life I want
For the time for settling down has come at last
Yes I hope to find a future in my past
Walk with me darling
Where the wheat fields used to be
And I will tell you stories of my time across the sea
You're the legendary girl I left behind
Can't begin to count the times you crossed my mind
Though your children
The youngest looks just like you
She's the picture of her mother
But there'll never be another quite like you
You're the angel and the time
I don't know anymore so goodnight
I'll take my memories to bed and know
That I'll be waking up alone
I should have noticed
That the years were slipping by
Still you're just as loving
As the day we said goodbye
Like an old familiar poem
That still won't rhyme
I could get back to the place
But not the time
You're the angel and the time
I don't know anymore so goodnight
I'll take my memories to bed and know
That I'll be waking up alone.
