Beautiful Thing

Treadin' water, killin' time
Inspiration, hard to find
Never noticed, the symphony
And the music's playing
Just for me
Precious moment
Time stood still
And it feels like so long since I felt
The sun on my face
Why did it take so long
To find this place
If it were not for this
I'd never have known or felt
Such a beautiful thing
And all I ever wanted seems so shallow
Suddenly I see reality
And the picture's coming into focus
Right in front of me
For just a moment
Time stood still
And it feels like so long since I felt
The sun on my face
Why did it take so long
To find this place
If it were not for this
I'd never have known or felt
Such a beautiful thing
Every job in life you gotta dig down low
Wouldn't feel so strong but for sorrow
And it feels like so long since I felt
The sun on my face
Why did it take so long
To find this place
If it were not for this
I'd never have known
Never have known
Never have known or felt
Such a beautiful thing
