lyrics

Beautiful From A Distance

I’ve had crushes, I’ve held grudges, sometimes they had the same subject
They’re so easy on the eyes and hard on the heart
This Cassandra, she was one who prophesied a fiery doom
I should have seen it, I should have seen it all along.

(chorus:)
She was born on Halloween, Orange, black and green
She’s a little off is what I mean, as if in a dream
And she’s so beautiful from a distance

Came out of the hills and hollows, Songs to sing and pills to swallow
They’re so easy to come by and hard to come off
Gilded Lilly they like to call her, West Virginia, mountain mama
But there’s no mountain to go home to anymore.

(2nd chorus)
Wont say what she means, never as it seems
Just a little off is what I mean, as if in a dream
And it’s so beautiful from a distance
Something in her eyes, welling up inside
Somewhere between laughing and crying, living and dying
And it’s so beautiful from a distance

(Instrumental break)

She knows love and she knows murder, she will bring you one or the other
Should have seen it, I should have seen it all along.

(repeat 2nd chorus)
