Words and music by Roddy Frame



How does it feel

To have time on your side

And never worry too much?

Never alone, kicking at stones

As though you're never been touched

Touched by the feeling

That nothing is real

It's all an illusion

Wheels in the drive

One of the guys

With nothing to prove



Beautiful Girl, how in the world

Could you be suffering so

Life's lost its appeal

And maybe I feel

A little more than you know

Why should I care

When everyone has their share

Perhaps your hearts like my own

You may despair but you're never alone

Long as the shore summons the sea

To hold and to heal

We're borne on our way to bloom and decay

And this is the deal

Can you feel the love stopping the wheel

Beautiful Girl

Simple and still heaven, revealed



Watching the water

That flows in the river

I've been feeling so sad

Seems like the things that today has to give

Are not as good as I had

Changes are coming

Don't know if I'm ready

Is my head in the clouds

River keep

Running away from it



Long as the shore summons the sea

To hold and to heal

We're borne on our way to bloom and decay

And this is the deal

Can you feel love stopping the wheel

Beautiful Girl

Simple and still you're heaven revealed
