Such a Beautiful Thing

It took forty days and forty nights To get myself feeling right The desert in my head was dry as a bone I followed breadcrumb trails and Christmas lights Street signs and satellites Even shouted your name through a cheap megaphone 'Cause you burn like something that burns And you sing like something that sings There are no words to describe such a beautiful thing I crawled my way through empty streets Over parking lots and movie seats Picking up clues in the threads of my coat I found a letter from my future self And true to form, it was little help 'Cause these useless lines were all that I wrote You shine like something that shines And you ring like something that rings There are no words to describe such a beautiful thing Finally I caught a break A treasure map in a birthday cake Two crossing lines revealed you to me And standing by your bedroom door I knocked three times and then once more 'Cause I knew that luck was but one thing I'd need 'Cause you burn like something that burns And you sing like something that sings There are no words to describe such a beautiful thing
