lyrics

You be my Robert Frost
And you my Emily Dickinson
I won’t let them shut you out
And I won’t let them shut you in
Where do we begin
You think in six and seven and eight and I abide in ten
If we get this right
Then we won’t have to stop for death by fire or by ice

Beautiful words
You write beautiful words
You’re like beautiful words to me
Beautiful words
You breathe beautiful words
You mean beautiful words to me

I’ll be Burns
And I’ll be Browning
Counting all the ways
It can wait ‘til the morning
How do I love thee
Better than I love my home, more than poetry
What have we become
Our best laid plans are prey to chance between a finger and a thumb

Beautiful words
You write beautiful words
You’re like beautiful words to me
Beautiful words
You breathe beautiful words
You mean beautiful words to me

I can’t begin to count the times
I’ve lost at life to win at rhymes
We spend hours and days in a technical haze
And we still don’t write what we want to say
‘Cause the essence of you and the essence of me
Is its own strong kind of poetry
The perfection we seek is a crippling myth
And the truth of the matter distills down to this

Your knuckles turn white as they strangle the pen
Chasing a muse who deserts you and then
Back in your flesh and your blood again
The promise of paper seems fickle
It fades into bitterness
Darling these halcyon days
Are too precious to waste on newspaper praise
Love doesn’t give a damn about art
Love sees you sharing a heart full of

Beautiful words
You write beautiful words
You’re like beautiful words to me
Beautiful words
You breathe beautiful words
You mean beautiful words to me
