The heart is a bloom, shoots up through
the stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent
in this town
You're out of luck and the reason
that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you're not
moving anywhere.
You thought you'd found a friend
to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in
return for grace
It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road but you've got
no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of
her imagination
You love this town even if it
dosen't ring true
You've been all over and it's been
all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me, take me to that
other place
Teach me,
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me, take me to that
other place
Reach me,
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can
feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't
need it now
You don't need it now,
It was a beautiful day
