Simplicity (From, The Barka Lyrics - Ii) Poem by Peter S. Quinn

You have the street
At this lonely night
All by your own feet
In this skimping light

If you will fall in love
So alone in the dark
It will be nothing of
Without complicated spark

You might be thinking
About that lovely someone
And to its passion linking
That never seems done
With fairy tales in its spell
And almost nearly true
But then you find reality is hell
And it's only you

Wake up be soon again
Everything you were before
Ghost of love you'd slain
And be normal and sure

Simplicity is just that
Everything quite in hope
You have just got what you've got
Into its own rightful scope

Wake up be soon again
What you were in the evening
Life is sometimes vain
When it complications bring

Simplicity is so much
If you know how to handle it
Take yourself into touch
Walk the line that doesn't split
