Lyrics
Beautiful Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here comes a strangest reflection
Throwing a shadow on the wall
Breaking down all my defences
The distance is nowhere at all
Beautiful friend
Beautiful friend
Looking at pictures in a mirror
Counting the faces never stop
Reflecting a European stranger
Fighting the fire from the top
I've had enough of temptation
Strung up like a fox on the wheel
Waiting in so many places
The alternative is really unreal
Beautiful friend
Beautiful friend
