Well Uncle Mort, a search came up with the following but haven't a clue if it's what you want!!

A Simple Song

If you walk away from me
Get out all my burdens at your feet
Again I give my pain to you
Again as you walk down the street

Came around for some happiness
Maybe for someone else to touch
You not come for darkness then
I seemed to know so well, so much

Someday I'll write a simple song
Someday, someday, someday
Someday I'll write a simple song
Someday, someday, someday
Someday, someday, someday

In the New World we're supposed to forget our trouble
In the New World shadows fade
In the New World you're not supposed to be
Lonely or afraid

You came to me for words of comfort
Laughter and joy
You've not come with a loaded gun
Seeking something to destroy

Someday I'll write a simple song
Someday, someday, someday
Someday I'll write a simple song
Someday, someday, someday
Someday, someday, someday

You asked for something beautiful
Something gentle, something nice
I did not give you anything
But tears in the night

Someday I'll write a simple song
Someday, someday, someday
Someday I'll write a simple song
Someday, someday, someday
Someday, someday, someday


best wishes, Yvonne

Allan Taylor's A SIMPLE SONG appears on "Sometimes/The Lady" (Two 1971 LPs reissued as one CD). Maybe this quote will help someone:

Sometimes I think you're almost there.
Sometimes I think you almost care
Enough to stay and say, "I love you."
Sometimes I think I hear your voice
And feel your body warm....

And here's the lyrics...

Sometimes I think you're almost there,
Sometimes I think you almost care
Enough to stay and say I love you
Sometimes I think I hear your voice
And feel your body warm and nice
And maybe, then again, I cannot hear you
Oh, why did fortune pass me by,
Turn the truth into a lie
I didn't want to hurt you any more

Sometimes when things go wrong I know
I'll sing this simple song I wrote
A song to bring you just a little nearer
But then the song will fade away
And I am too afraid to stay
To wait and hope the picture will get clearer
Oh, why did fortune pass me by,
Turn the truth into a lie
I didn't want to hurt you any more

And maybe in a future land
I'll stop the world and make a stand
And start it once again for us together
And then the times that we had lost
And all the tears that turned to frost
Would melt and soothe the pain for one another
Oh why did fortune pass me by,
Turn the truth into a lie
