Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stoney ground
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
It's a beautiful day
Beautiful day
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace
[Verse 2]
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
[Verse 3]
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 that doesn't ring true
You've been all over, and it's been all over you
[Verse 4]
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
(Ooh-hoo-hoo) Day
(Ooh-hoo-hoo) Day
(Ooh-hoo-hoo) Day
(Ooh-hoo-hoo)
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
It was a beautiful day
It was a beautiful day
(Ooh-hoo-hoo)
(Ooh-hoo-hoo)
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
[Verse 7]
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
[Verse 8]
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
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Warm in the sun
While I ease you, my summer
