lyrics

the day you were born
birds forgot to fly
wounds forgot to hurt
words forgot to lie

the day you turned ten
old men began to dance
shadows left their posts
and enemies made friends

they said it must be a sign
that we got to toe the line
and they said it must be true
that there's more
'cause now there's you

you're too beautiful
you're so hard to say no to
a no is a yes
as a matter of course
it's not your fault
you walk like we all do
but storms when they see you
dissipate with remorse

and the river 'bout to cross you
retreated to its source
and the nettles 'bout to scratch you
they parted like doors
you're too beautiful
much too beautiful

the day we met
the North Star pointed south
the Sun forgot to set
my breath forgot to out

the day we wed
you said don't be afraid
Air will keep us fed
Ground will elevate

I thought it must be by design
only seek what you're meant to find
and I thought it must be true
there is more
'cause now there's you

you're too beautiful
you're impossible to turn down
I try to turn you down
but it's just for the sport
it's not your fault
you trip like we all do
but when the mountain saw you trip
it rushed to lend support

and the fire that burns us
only slakes your thirst
in the water that churns us
I'm the one who rusts
you're too beautiful
way too beautiful
