Simply Put

Ten years old
And all I know
All that's gold
And time just moved so slow

From Edinburgh
Down to Padstow
All my clothes fit better then
And the sea was not so cold

Simply put
Do we choose what we have
And when we leave
Are we just a body given back

Did I choose
Not to be
Any less than a soul
Or only half of a whole

Spiders web
Dusted from the corner of my house
Well build it then
I don't have the strength to take it down

If I cut my hair
Would you recognise me
In years and years and years and years
When you came to meet me

Simply put
Do you listen when I speak
Just to be seen
Or am I just a vessel for my meekness

Did I choose
Not to be
Any less than a soul
Or only half of a whole
