Simple Gifts

One, two
One, two

Slouching towards the sky's extent
From the edges of a waste
With something darker than a hope
Something brighter, still in fate
In the saddle of my tauntaun
Is a sapphire studded ring
And I keep it to remind me
Who I am and what I'll be, mhmm

When true simplicity is gained
How much then is lost?
I invested in them feelings
I paid dearly for them thoughts

In the cockpit of a spacecraft
Unknown with an acquaintance
It occurred to me my mind was probably
Overdue for maintenance
I like to lay beneath the grass
So I never leave a mark
I wanna exhale oxygen
Like a tree out in the park, mhmm

When true simplicity is gained
How much then is lost?
I invested in them feelings
I paid dearly for them thoughts
When true simplicity is gained
Can I then be self-assured
How I envy all them stones
They don't never say a word

On the calculus abacus
In the highest wizard station
God I hope he's pulling beads for me
I want to count
But we all pout the same amount

When true simplicity is gained
How much then is lost?
I invested in them feelings
I paid dearly for them thoughts
When true simplicity is gained
Will I then be self-assured?
How I envy all them stones
They don't never say a word
