She looked away and laughed and cried
All in one strange, grand gesture
I sat there puzzled, pale as d**h
And thought, “What's wrong with her?”
The mystic chimes rang in the wind
Like notes from an ancient song
They made me feel, well, uneasy
As she cried all night long
I guess it's just one of those times
When she sees something beyond this life
And yearns for it with a pa**ion
That makes her want to die
Sad, sad, beautiful lover
I wish I knew your mind
But even when you speak of it
The words you use are blind
And make me think you're as lost as me
But you're so pretty when you cry
I just look at you and smile and laugh
“She'll be back in awhile”
It strikes me like an untimely d**h
Of a child or a star
And shatters my mind so completely
I don't know who your are
Maybe it's only a feeling, a dream
Or a glorious thought
Of something you know but can't seem to say
About all that could be but is not
Yes I guess it's just one of those times
When you see something beyond this life
And yearn for it with a pa**ion
That makes you want to die
Sad, sad, beautiful lover
I wish I knew your mind
But even when you speak of it
The words you use are blind
And make me think you're as lost as me
But you're so pretty when you cry
I just look at you and smile and laugh
“She'll be back in awhile"
And though I've never been there
And no, I'm not planning on going
I can't deny, when she returns
Her face is bright – and glowing
