[Verse 1]
Oh, to make roses grow
Through a long winter when you live so far north
How to feed birds that don't dare to come near
How to believe in love when you know what it's like
[Chorus 1]
Oh, such simple things
[Verse 2]
Oh, and how to forget words
That wouldn't have hurt so much
If you hadn't known they were true
And how to forget someone who only remembers you sometimes?
[Chorus 2]
Oh, such simple things
[Verse 3]
Oh, to make roses grow
From an earth that is so cold
I've heard it can be done
[Chorus 3]
Oh, such simple things that others know how to do
