So young for death, we walk in shoes too big
But you play it like a poet like you always did
And I lay face upturned on the palm of God
Pushed on by the fingertips of dreams
They haunted me, consoling me
And I would like to call, call it beauty
Strained as love's become, it still amazes me
And I would like to call it beauty
Beauty, beauty, beauty
You slept a sigh like the angels speak
And we danced into tomorrow on bleeding feet
And I had thought that I would die here
But you pushed me on
You pushed me on, you pushed me on
Oh, and I would like to call, call it beauty
Strained as love's become, it still amazes me
And I would like to call it beauty
Beauty, beauty, beauty
You can keep it all locked up in your leaden chest
Or you can lay mouth open on the water's edge
But all your angels and your God will stitch and wash you
Oh, I would like to call, call it beauty
Strained as love's become, it still amazes me
And I would like to call it beauty
Beauty, beauty, beauty, beauty
Beauty, beauty, beauty

Thank you so very much!!!! I would like to know how you did this? Do you have a British accent and understand her diction better? I am American and there were certain lines in this song that i was developing an unhealthy obsession over figuring out. I like figuring out the lyrics first and then going to see what others have posted, especially for songs like Corinne's. Those deep heart felt songs with personal lyrics that aren't always apparent. So I think maybe, you must work for the label or you must be in the band!!!
