Beauty fades 

Then what have you got left 

Fatal mistake, 

Let your surface be your compass 

‘cause it will lie 

Then all those secrets that you've kept 

will make you cry 

without a lover to confide 



Don't you know I could love you beautiful 

Then you would have 

A landing pad upon my soul 

Don't you know I could I love you beautiful 

Like a gypsy I'd 

follow thee across the open-road 



The great parade 

They all have a centerpiece 

Floating through space 

A glamour-girl up on a stage 

a see of reeds 

and it's so hard not to believe 

you're somebody 

with all those roses at your feet 



Don't you know I could love you beautiful 

Then you would have 

A landing pad upon my soul 

Don't you know I could I love you beautiful 

Like a gypsy I'd 

follow thee across the open-road 



If you should find a loyal love 

You should serve it faithfully 

You should always be at its command 

So tell me what to say to do to feel 

Oh and to try to be… 

If I think about it long enough maybe I can 



Don't you know I could love you beautiful 

Then you would have 

no other need for voiceless vanity 

Don't you see I could love you beautifully 

Like a gypsy I would 

Follow thee across the open-road
