The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
|
but there's no room, no space to rent in this town
|
You're out of luck, and the reason that you had to care
|
the traffic is stuck, and you're not moving anywhere
|
You thought you'd found a friend, to take you out of this place
|
someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
|
|
It's a beautiful day. (day . . .)
|
The sky falls, and you feel like
|
it's a beautiful day. (day . . .)
|
Don't let it get away
|
|
You're on the road, but you've got no destination
|
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
|
You love this town, even if that doesn't ring true
|
you've been all over, and it's been all over you
|
|
It's a beautiful day (day . . .)
|
don't let it get away
|
It's a beautiful day. (day . . .)
|
hoo . . hoo . . . hoo
|
|
Touch me
|
take me to that other place
|
Teach me . . . oh
|
I know I'm not a hopeless case.
|
|
See the world in green and blue
|
see China right in front of you
|
see the canyons broken by cloud
|
see the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
|
see the Bedouin fires at night
|
see the oil fields at first light, and
|
see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
|
After the flood all the colours came out
|
|
(day . . .)
|
It was a beautiful day (day . . .)
|
don't let it get away
|
Beautiful day (day . . .)
|
|
Touch me
|
take me to that other place
|
Reach me
|
I know I'm not a hopeless case
|
|
What you don't have, you don't need it now
|
What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
|
What you don't have, you don't need it now
|
don't need it now . . .
|
|
[It] Was a beautiful day
