From the recording Behind That Beautiful Guard

Lyrics

I'm getting used to the sound
In this routine we have found
Our friendship is so very kind
One that seems to hard to find

Keep it plain and simple
Learn to pretend
Keep it plain and simple
to keep you my friend
Keep it plain and simple
As time goes on
Keep it plain and simple
Don't complicate this bond

Behind that beautiful guard
Your heart like mine is showing scares
Our talks of us have slowly grown
To hopes and goals and the unknown
Your presence I would surely miss
Not sure how it came to this

I'll keep you, keep you at bay
Heartache won't come our way
This distance that I create
Will push our love to it's grave

Keep it plain and simple
Learn to pretend
Keep it plain and simple
to keep you my friend
Keep it plain and simple
As time goes on
Keep it plain and simple
Don't complicate this bond
