Lyrics of Beautiful Things Can Happen
In a fire, I lie
Do I fall? Do I fly?
So hard to move in the flames of the night
I'm watching the dust as it falls and it settles on my fate
There's no sound now in the quiet
It's just me and my thoughts
And they scream out, saying nothing
And I'm bound, oh
My last penny, lover left me
Thought I'd died and ended up in hell
But the heat brings relief
Beautiful things can happen anywhere
Twisted by terror
All my turmoil has taught me and the tide is now turned
And the situation, my liberation has followed me softly
There's no sound now in the quiet
It's just me and my thoughts
And they scream out, saying nothing
And I'm bound, oh
My last penny, lover left me
Thought I'd died and ended up in hell
But the heat brings relief
Beautiful things can happen anywhere
My last penny, lover left me
Thought I'd died and ended up in hell
But the heat brings relief
Beautiful things can happen anywhere
They can happen anywhere
They can happen anywhere
