If I was beautiful, if I had the time
They'd flock to me, bathe me in the wine
I know that's not the way
I know that's not how things are to be
(My baby left)
(My baby left)
(Gone, gone)
(Gone, gone)
I was always looking and I held until the time began
Subtle things come at me, I look to see where loss had ran
I can have the sun, it come and touch me on my shoulder
Think of all the things that I could, wish that I had told her
I fly so high
Then fall so low
(I fly so high)
(I fly so high)
If I was beautiful, if I had the time
You would flock to me and bathe me in the wine
I know that's not the way
I know that's not how things are to be
If I was like you with nothing to get around
Then everything would be beautiful
As far as I can see
You'd be sitting here with me 'til love's end
I fly so high
Then fall so low
I fly so high
Then fall so low
Signs of love (I fly so high)
Away we could run (then fall so low)
I can see the light come peering through the sky in my mind (I fly so high)
Closing people come in, but also lying on the floor
I would hold you in my arms until we both are home (then fall so low)
I would hold you in my arms until we both are all alone
