I had a sweetheart when I was 14
Gave her my whole heart though she didn’t love me
Though she didn’t love me

I moved to Boston, Jamaica Plain
Where I kissed my best friend in the warm summer rain
In the warm summer rain

So simple, I've lived a whole life through
But I don’t remember nothing before you

New York City, fell in love with a man
He asked me to marry and I gave him my hand
I gave him my hand

So simple, I've lived a whole life through
But I don’t remember nothing before you

I ended my marriage, went back home
I needed to scatter those ashes alone
Ashes alone

So simple, I've lived a whole life through
But I don’t remember nothing before you

My ocotillo, my agarita, my diamond dove
I thought I knew something of love
By the cold spring river, in the warm summer air
Felt like I knew you, like we’d always been there
So simple, I've lived a whole life through
But I haven’t loved no one before you
