Ragged Beauty

She had that ragged beauty A natural way that moved me Her eyes like silver seas That brought me to my knees But I couldn't make her love me But now I finally see That Ragged beauty Never belonged to me I was low and down trodden My conscience vile and depraved But when I fell for her Yeah it was me that was saved Sometimes you can't see the truth It's right in front of your face That ragged beauty She put me in my place But there was a time I held her heart for a day But all things must pass That bird must fly away Still I can't complain Yeah though it tore me apart You see that ragged beauty She put the song in my heart So many years have passed Since she went away Now if I met her again Would it be the same You know she finally showed up Just when she'd left my mind Oh ragged beauty I'll love ya Until we run out of time So many roads to travel So many mountains to climb You can't run back to what broke ya It'll only leave you blind Ah but something so strong So far beyond my control Ragged beauty forever You'll always live in my soul Ragged beauty forever You'll always live in my soul
