Im tired joey boy while youre out with the sheep
My life is so troubled I cant go to sleep
And I would walk myself out but the streets are so dark
I will wait til the morning and walk in the park
Yeah life is so simple when one isnt home
And Im never complaining when theres work to be done
Oh Im tired joey boy with the makings of men
I would like to be cheerful again
And ambition will take you and ride you too far
And conservatism will bring you to boredom once more
So go out by the river watch the stream flow
Recall all those dreams you once used to know
The ones youve forgotten that took you away
To pastures not greener but meaner
Yeah the love of the simple is all that I need
I have no time for schism or lovers of greed
Go up to the mountain go up to the glen
Where silence will touch you and heartbreak will mend
