I was walking by the river
Littered in ugliness yet so serene
I was the shadow to your sunshine
You occupy my mind, do you ever think of me?

Goodbye- I never wanted this in me- it's too late, too late
So goodbye- but memories won't ever let me be

Beauty goes, beauty goes, beauty goes

I had visions of tomorrow
Wondering why you won't be here with me
I caress the thorns of roses
Their special fragrance always eludes me

I need something to hang myself on
Since you won't be holding me

Beauty goes
