(Verse 1)
Today I found you staring at the sunrise
Your toes beneath the
sand
Your mind immersed in images of foreign lands
Well I have heard the
stories of their treasures
And how ours don't compare
There's rumors that the
snow and ice can't stay alive down there
And I'm sure that they're
true
(Chorus 1)
But I could be your beautiful disaster
My arms are tidal
waves
And they will save you from the doldrums
That your heart's been living
in
And replace them even faster
With songs that make your spirit sing
And
every sort of pretty thing
And you'd do the same for me
Oh, what a beautiful
distaster that would be
(Verse 2)
Today I found you cursing at the
sunset
Again you felt ignored
When will the sky explode with light
And keep
our village warm?
But why waste our time wishing for a palm tree line?
I'll
take the pine, the snow is fine if you are mine
(Chorus 2)
And I could be
your beautiful disaster
My arms are avalanches
And these branches that you're
clinging to
I will carry them away
And replace them even faster
With songs
that make your spirit sing
And every sort of pretty thing
And you'd do the
same for me
Oh, what a beautiful distaster that would be
(Chorus 3)
I
could be your beautiful disaster
My arms are hurricanes
And all the pain that
you've been feeling
I will carry it away
And replace it even faster
With
songs that make your spirit sing
And every sort of pretty thing
And you'd do
the same for me
Oh, what a beautiful distaster that would be
Goodnight,
sleep tight
When we wake to morning light
We'll find
We've been
Shanghaied
Better get used to the tide
This is our new life
Today I found you staring at the sunrise
Your toes beneath the
sand
Your mind immersed in images of foreign lands
Well I have heard the
stories of their treasures
And how ours don't compare

And I'm sure that they're
