You're drinking up the sun Under its gaze You're showing everyone Your pride of place And that's natural You're delicate and cruel No hint of shame You play us and forget us And forget we're both the same You're a temporary bloom Like a sunbeam across the room And when your beauty fades You'll be lonely You're climbing out the dirt And up the fence Summoning your thorns In common sense And that's natural They're brushing me aside For better looks I'm yours and you're mine And when I'm on your arm it's off the books You're red as blood Deep as the sea And when your beauty fades You'll be lonely I'm taking in the sky Comet going by Through a million stars All fields that bloom decay Meteors burn away Time makes you Time takes you When your beauty fades When your beauty fades When your beauty fades You'll be lonely
