Beauty Fades

Beauty fades

Then what have you got left

Fatal mistake,

Let your surface be your compass

cause it will lie

Then all those secrets that you've kept

will make you cry

without a lover to confide

Don't you know I could love you beautiful

Then you would have

A landing pad upon my soul

Don't you know I could I love you beautiful

Like a gypsy I'd

follow thee across the open-road

The great parade

They all have a centerpiece

Floating through space

A glamour-girl up on a stage

a see of reeds

and it's so hard not to believe

you're somebody

with all those roses at your feet

Don't you know I could love you beautiful

Then you would have

A landing pad upon my soul

Don't you know I could I love you beautiful

Like a gypsy I'd

follow thee across the open-road

If you should find a loyal love

You should serve it faithfully

You should always be at its command

So tell me what to say to do to feel

Oh and to try to be

If I think about it long enough maybe I can

Don't you know I could love you beautiful

Then you would have

no other need for voiceless vanity

Don't you see I could love you beautifully

Like a gypsy I would

Follow thee across the open-road
