Les choses les plus simples

Joan Baez Joan Baez

The Simplest Things

It's when the night slips away and I can't sleep
It's when the night slips away and I can't sleep
That my desires come back long before you

When I spend my days trying to forget those nights
When I spend my days trying to forget those nights
When I call you and you don't hear me

{Chorus:}
So I remember the simplest things
The things we said we'd never forget
The simplest things, never forget

You have to walk a long way to shake off this restlessness
You have to walk a long way to shake off this restlessness
You have to close your eyes, go somewhere else

And the seasons that linger between Paris and the Ocean
And the seasons that linger between Paris and the Ocean
A boredom that grows in symphony

{Chorus, x2}

It's when the night slips away and I can't sleep
It's when the night slips away and I can't sleep
And it's when you're here, long before me

{Chorus}

Then I think about the simple things we said
The things we promised never to forget
The simple things we said never to forget

{Chorus}
