The Prettiest Thing

The prettiest thing

I ever did see

Was lightnin' from the top of a cloud

Moving through the dark a million miles and hour

With somewhere to be

So why does it seem

Like a picture

Hangin' up on someone's else's wall

Lately I just haven't been myself at all

It's heavy on my mind

I'm dreamin' again

Like I've always been

And way down low

I still know

That the prettiest thing

I ever did see

Was dusty as the handle on the door

Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor

Looks like home to me

And I'm dreamin' again

Like I've always been

Way down low

Thinkin' of the prettiest thing
