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
