Simple Song Lyrics - Noe Venable

A traveler stops at the old inn yard 

It has been so many miles and it's been so hard 

I've grown silver as a widow since then 

And now a traveler's come to see me again 

He has the mouth of a river the face of a child 

But don't forget what he's hiding underneath his smile 

And that old silver splinter that he left inside of me 

Oh don't forget hmmm 

I could not walk it off 

Then he began and slow slowly 

I could feel his web beginning to undo me 

Slow rivers awoke in my shoulders and my legs 

Slow rivers awoke I was floating away 

And beauty is tired of playing dead 

And beauty is tired of hiding her head 

I go over to the window 

I go over to the window 

I could feel the droplets hanging on the edges of my leaves 

I could feel the tears coming and I couldn't believe 

I go over to the window 

I go over to the window 

And beauty is tired of playing dead 

And beauty is tired of hiding her head 

Yeah beauty is tired of playing dead 

Oh beauty is tired so tired 

So I gave up and sang along 

And rode off on the wings of a simple song...
