Corinne Bailey Rae - I\'d Like To Call It Beauty lyrics

rate me

So young for death, <br />

We walk in shoes too big<br />

But you play it like a poet, <br />

Like you always did.<br />

And I lay face upturned on the palm of God, <br />

Pushed on by the fingertips of dreams, <br />

They haunted me, <br />

Consoling me.<br />

<br />

And I would like to call, call it beauty, <br />

Strained as love's become, it still amazes me<br />

And I would like to call it beauty... <br />

<br />

You slept a sigh like the angels speak, <br />

And we danced into tomorrow on bleeding feet<br />

And I had thought that I would die here<br />

But you pushed me on, <br />

You pushed me on, <br />

You pushed me on<br />

<br />

(Oh) And I would like to call it beauty, <br />

Strained as love's become, it still amazes me<br />

And I would like to call it beauty... <br />

<br />

You can keep it all locked up in your leaden chest<br />

Or you can lay mouth open on the water's edge<br />

But all your angels and your God will stitch and wash you<br />

<br />

Oh I would like to call, call it beauty, <br />

Strained as love's become, it still amazes me<br />

And I would like to call it beauty...
