lyrics

"Beautiful" is such a broken word
I'd like to tell you something you've never heard
Until I find a better word
You're beautiful

You sit beneath the naked light
You ask me if you look all right
What am I supposed to say?
You're beautiful

The first king came with frankincense
The second king he came with myrrh
The third king came with a sack of gold
But all I have is a broken word

And actions speak much louder anyhow
So let me lie this guitar on the ground
And slide my hand along your marble skin
