Leave the Beautiful Alone

Lonely days Sometimes I'm a world away Lost in your photograph Walking down your country paths Yesterday Was just like a holiday The sounds of Nantucket town The places we never found You and me we got so much history You could call it paradise That look in your lonely eyes You and me we've had so much air to breathe We've lived life on land and sea Drowning in the mysteries We leave the beautiful alone Lonely nights I remember your city lights Your songs at the bitter end New York was my good friend Open sky Sometimes we would open wide The souls of the universe Smoke signals in our lungs and verse Lonely man Who do you touch with your lonely hands When did you walk on the summer sands And did you ever really love? Yesterday Was just like a holiday The boats on Nantucket Sound Main Street went up and down You and me we got so much history You could call it paradise That look in your lonely eyes You and me we've had so much air to breathe We've lived life on land and sea Drowning in the mysteries We leave the beautiful alone Leave the beautiful alone
