Beautiful Day

The heart is a bloom

Shoots up through the stony ground

Theres no room

No space to rent in this town

Youre out of luck

And the reason that you had to care

The traffic is stuck

And youre not moving anywhere

You thought youd found a friend

To take you out of this place

Someone you could lend a hand

In return for grace

Its a beautiful day

Sky falls you feel like

Its a beautiful day

Dont let it get away

Youre on the road

But youve got no destination

Youre in the mud

In the maze of her imagination

You love this town

Even if that doesnt ring true

Youve been all over

And its been all over you

Its a beautiful day

Dont let it get away

Its a beautiful day

Touch me

Take me to that other place

Teach me

I know Im 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 colors came out

It was a beautiful day

Dont let it get away

Beautiful day

Touch me

Take me to that other place

Reach me

I know Im not a hopeless case

What you dont have you dont need it now

What you dont know you can feel it somehow

What you dont have you dont need it now

Dont need it now

Was a beautiful day
