The heart is a bloom, shoots up
through 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
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 doesn'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 beutiful day
Don't let it get away

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
A beautiful day
Don't let it get away

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, you don't need it now
Beautiful day
