Beautiful things  [bad word]  my way
Beautiful things 
I want them to stay 
But after a while 
My beautiful things
Don’t seem beautiful at all 

Terrible things 
Like when you wake up 
And all of your dreams 
Seem to crack up 
Like things you have done
Like breaking` my heart 
For you it don’t seem 
Terrible at all

Is there someone I can talk to? 
Someone on the line? 
Does anybody want to hear? 
What’s on my mind? 

Beautiful things 
Like leaves on a tree
Beautiful things 
The sky and the sea
Since you’ve been gone 
No beautiful thing 
Seem beautiful to me 

Is there someone I can talk to? 
Someone out there on the line? 
Does anybody want to hear? 
What’s on my mind? 

Make the grass grow in the garden 
When the rain is passing` by 
Does anybody want to know 
What’s on my mind?
