[Verse 1]
I'm tired Joey boy
While you're out with the sheep
My life is so troubled
Now I can't go to sleep
I would walk myself out
But the streets are so dark
I shall wait till the morning
And walk in the park
[Verse 2]
This life is so simple
When one is at home
And I'm never complaining
When there's work to be done
Oh I'm tired Joey boy
Of the makings of men
I would like to be cheerful again
[Bridge]
Ambition will take you and ride you too far
And conservatism bring you to boredom once more
[Verse 3]
Sit down by the river
Watch the stream flow
Recall all the dreams
That you once used to know
The things you've forgotten
That took you away
To pastures not greener but meaner
[Verse 4]
Love of the simple
Is all that I need
I've no time for schism
Or lovers of greed
Go up to the mountain
Go up to the glen
When silence will touch you
And heartbreak will mend
