If I was beautiful
If I had the time
They'd flock to me
Bathe me in the wine
I know that's not the way
I know that's not how things are to be

My baby left
My baby left
Gone gone
Gone gone

I was always looking
And I held until the time began
Subtle things come at me
I look to see where loss had ran
I can have the sun it come
And touch me on my shoulder
Think of all the things that I could
Wish that I had told her

I fly so high
Then fall so low
(I fly so high)
(I fly so high)

If I was beautiful
If I had the time
You would flock to me
And bathe me in the wine
I know that's not the way
I know that's not how things are to be

If I was like you
With nothing to get around
Then everything would be beautiful
As far as I could see
You'd be sitting here with me
'Til love's end

I fly so high
Then fall so low
I fly so high
Then fall so low

Signs of love
(I fly so high)
Away we could run
(Then fall so low)

I can see the light come peering through the sky in my mind
  (I fly so high)
Crazy people come and look at us we're lying on the floor
  (Then fall so low)
I would hold you in my arms until we both are home
I would hold you in my arms until we both are old
