Simple Song

Words and Music by Elliott Park




Performed by Elliott Park

Is your smile rusty from the tears you weep
Is your happy stuck like gum beneath your feet
Are your hopes locked in a jar
In the cellar damp and dark
There between the pickles and the beets
Are you stocked up for a winter of despair
Waiting for a meteor to burn your hair
If you ever feel the urge
To take a breather from your dirge
Here’s a little coin for you to keep


A simple song that your heart can sing
Not too long – rather short and sweet
Like the birds in the apple tree
Let the world hear your simple song

It begins with just a flutter deep in you
As it grows you feel some yellow in your blue
You can run but you can’t hide
When a smile begins to rise
Like the terminator wearing big red shoes.
