All Known Things

The sun can set in scarlet
For an hour on the horizon
The clouds can all kaleidoscope
Right before my eyes
And the sweetest bird on earth could sing
The best rhyme of all time can ring

Your beauty stands
Alone
Amongst all known things
All known things
Your beauty stands
Alone
Amongst all known things
All known things

And at the exhibition
In the womb of the museum
I paid for your admission
But no kissing in the mausoleum
And even if you had a twin
I wouldn’t notice her or him

Your beauty stands
Alone
Amongst all known things
All known things
Your beauty stands
Alone
Amongst all known things
All known things

Walk along the ruins
And watch the haze dissolve the skyline
At the hotel we saw in spring
Abandoned now, decaying

Your beauty stands
(Your beauty stands)
Alone
(Alone)
Amongst all known things

Maybe suns in distant space
Will shine a little brighter
Throw a shadow on your face
And blind me with their light
Worlds we’re still discovering
Will give us better songs to sing

Your beauty stands
Alone
Amongst all known things
All known things
Your beauty stands
Alone
Amongst all known things
All known things

Your beauty stands
Alone
Amongst all known things
