Everything Is Beautiful - Mark Eitzel

The thinnest rope won’t hang you

It’ll break and you’ll be

Just another pen stroke

For the sunset

Or the dawn

Or the dawn

A little girl child of x or y

Who doesn’t speak

Who doesn’t know at least at the right time

And that’s all anybody wants

Not angel wings

Not invisible things

And everything’s beautiful

But babe not you or me

Like a tower ready to fall

Spinning over the ground

Like the gorilla ride

There’s moments and minutes

There’s seasons and there’s dreams

Glued onto dreams

And everything’s beautiful

But babe not you or me

And everything’s beautiful

But babe not you or me

You’re the girl in the paperweight

I barely know you

You’re so quiet

Is there nothing

In this weird perspective

That’ll let me breathe in

The smell of Eden

In your eternally open eyes

I barely see you

I barely see you

And everything’s beautiful

But babe not you or me

Yeah everything’s beautiful

But babe not you or me

I barely see you

I barely see you

I barely see you

And everything’s beautiful

But babe not you or me
