say a prayer for beauty
they keep coming to take her apart
so many ways I've tried to say it
oh my life oh my gods oh my heart
say a prayer for beauty
like a ghost at the edge of the world
she runs out in her stockings
as invisible cities they burn
say a prayer for beauty
that she's holding your hand even when you can't see her
I think mercy waits to take your hand
at least til you can admit that you need her
well I need her
and in my hour of darkness
when I need you and find you so faraway
and it all seems without purpose
anything you could dream or could say
just say a prayer for beauty
that she's holding your hand even when you can't see her
cause I think mercy waits to take your hand
at least til you can admit that you need her
well I need her
the edge
she's out on the edge
she's out on the edge of the water
say a prayer for beauty
she's out on the edge
she's out on the edge
forgive her
say a prayer for beauty
