Janis Ian

Nina
Nina, I can see your face Caught up in the song's embrace Alphabets of lightning falling from your lips Raining on your fingertips Any kind of fool could see You were always meant to be Miracles in moonlight, worshipped from afar Burning like a falling star And how were you to know this world Was so damned hard on beauty Frightened by your lightning song Nina, can't you see? You were always beautiful to me Crazy as a loon, in your own cartoon What a world those eyes must see When you hit the mark, you stopped my heart Then you'd turn around and grind it Right into the ground. I'd find it Cradled in the arms of song Right where miracles belong Melody and madness Sanctity and sadness Letras de cancionesA heart at war – nothing more But how were you to know this world Was so damned hard on beauty Frightened by your lightning song Nina can't you see? You were always beautiful to me From Letras Mania
