From the recording Billy's Not Bitter
A plea for emotional honesty. Seeking release or forgiveness. Slow and brooding. Baritone guitar. Searing slide solo at 2:48.
Lyrics
SIMPLE
Is it any better now the war has ended?
Is it any better here since I came around?
Does it even matter if I've lost my senses?
Does it even matter if I fall to the ground?
It's as simple as love
It's as easy as diving into space
It's as simple as everlasting
Ever changing life
If you're feeling cold and bruised and lonely
Look into my eyes and you will see who to save
Lay my heart inside your hands and
Hold me gently
Put your arms around my mind and
Show me the way
Given all the gold and all the consequences
Given that I'm old enough to handle the wheel
Show me what I need to know to cross these fences
Show me what I need to know to know
What you feel
It's as simple as love
It's as easy as diving into space
It's as simple as everlasting
Ever changing life
