We Were Beautiful Lyrics - Belle And Sebastian

I was black as I could be 

Hearing voices telling me 

"Walk away from everything" 

Oh I wasn't meant to go 

Far away from those I know 

To some desolate below 

 

We were in the urban scene 

With a grind of coffee bean 

And the women are oblique 

And the boys are paper thin 

Ragged beards upon their chin 

We were on the outside looking in 

 

Rise above the present day 

Rise above the popular melee 

I see you the way you are 

I see you the scar

We were beautiful before this went down 

We were beautiful the years came and turned it upside down 

We were beautiful before we got wise 

We were beautiful with sky and blanket laying low 

 

I am hanging on the line 

I'm on duty all the time 

I'm your Samaritan on call 

I could try my best to heal 

All the emptiness you feel 

In the giving I will be a light 

 

We were wrapped around our roots 

Nothing on except our boots 

We were intimate around the waist 

We were settling our scores 

We were healing over sores 

We were living out the pleasure that we lost

We were beautiful before this went down 

We were beautiful before the years came and turned it upside down 

We were beautiful for all time and space 

I will tell it to the Sun and I will tell it to 

 

If you listen to the night 

We can hear the madmen fight 

Hear the foxes making out 

But the people all immune 

Sleeping silent in their rooms 

Growing bodies with their sleep 

Making plans inside their heads 

Making love to shadow friends 

 

We were beautiful before this went down 

We were beautiful before the years came and turned it upside down 

We were beautiful before we got wise 

We were beautiful with sky and blanket, feel me now 

 

We were beautiful before this went down 

We were beautiful before the years came and turned it upside down 

We were beautiful for all time and space 

I will tell it to the Sun and I will tell it to your face
