QUITE SIMPLE

See an old man walkin,
And suddenly we’re talkin’,
He tells stories of his days in Rome,
He’s wandered Spain and swam in Greece
And tasted Japanese cuisine
And studied archeology in the tombs

So I had to ask, man
How’d you manage all that?
He tossed his head back and laughed

Said it’s really quite simple
It’s really quite easy
It’s really quite open
open-ended and free
When nobody’s come for ya, no
Nobody’s gonna say, you’re doin’ it wrong
It’s really quite long, this life
And everything comes with time

(ooo)

So I left him thinkin,
How heavy I’d been sinkin,
Trying to hold the whole world to my chest
My mind is a windmill spinning
With no end and no beginning,
Thinking every day has to be my best
Will it come to pass,
When I stop all that,
And toss my head back and laugh

Say it’s really quite simple
It’s really quite easy
It’s really quite open
Open ended and free
Nobody’s come for me, no
Nobody gonna say, I’m doin’ it wrong
It’s really quite long, this life
And everything comes with time

(ooo)
