Lyrics

What a beautiful face I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream that could flash on the screen
Be gone in the blink of an eye from me, soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me
And one day we will die and our ashes will fly
From the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young, let us lay in the sun
Count every beautiful thing we can see, love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me
What a curious life we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds, Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's ringing and reeling through me, soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees
Know how I remember you?
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
But now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With the ones we loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name
What a beautiful face I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
When we meet on a cloud, I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing at everything I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
