"Simple Man" lyrics

There has been a time
When the rains did fall
I could see the clouds
As they started to form

I have lived my life as a simple man
Should my heart not make a sound
I've even tried to please the other man
Storing riches for my own

I have seen the fire
I have felt the flames
It seemed warm for a while
Then it started to burn

I have lived my life as a simple man
Should my heart not make a sound
I've even tried to please the other man
Storing riches for my own

I felt the sting of the Corinth's tongue
God knows I'm not a simple man
Don't think your words fall on deaf ears
God knows I'm not a simple man
Just save my soul
Just save my soul
