Beautiful Thing  5:17 I was so lucky when I found you... I've never been too good... at talking to the girls. Sometimes I'd drift away around you... and you'd forget you were the axis through my world My mind sometimes takes me to you... I've never been so good... at swallowing the blame... and I still see you as I knew you... a phoenix feather to fan a world in flames And its a long, long way to yesterday... I tried, but I'm calling it a day Beautiful thing... you were my traction... my meaning when I'd sing. Beautiful thing.... you were the diamond... now you're the hole through my ring. I still keep you on the dresser, next to keys and coins and photos of my mom. I see no point to purge my person, of tears and blood and you upon my arm. My mind sometimes takes me to you... I still hold you now... but in a picture frame. I still see you as I knew you... a honey comb to smooth a lions mane Its a long long way to yesterday... I tried, but I'm calling it a day Beautiful thing.... you were the venom, the poison when I'd sting. Beautiful thing.... you dressed my feathers... now you're the hole through my wing. And its a long long way to yesterday. Beautiful thing... you'd rest on Sunday...and miss the universe begin Beautiful thing.... I hope that one day....you'll know the love youve fallen in Beautiful thing.... You pushed me over and left me drowning in your wake Beautiful thing .... you think you'll ever... miss the apple for the snake. Beautiful thing...  you'd send me postcards... from the corner store.. Beautiful thing..   I'd eat your candy...off a theatre floor Donovan - Guitars - Vocals Kevin - Drums Dean - Bass Deanna Breglia - Flute Grieg David - French Horn Josh Aerie - Cello
