Beautiful Day (Live at The Fleet Center, Boston, MA, 06/06/01) Lyrics

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
You're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me, touch me
Take me to that other place
If you teach me love
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out

See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood, all the colors came out

(Day) day
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me, touch me, touch me
Take me to the other place
If you teach me love
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have, you don't need it now
What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
What you don't have, you don't need it now
Don't need it now, beautiful day, oh

She left notes in a bar
The ideas slipped down into the soul
Into the world, into the soul
Of a little boy at home

Soul, soul
The goal is soul, soul
The goal is soul
The goal is soul
The goal is soul

Beautiful day
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
Yeah
