The Prettiest Thing
The prettiest thing I ever did see
Was lightning from the top of a cloud
Moving through the dark
A million miles an hour with somewhere to be
So why does it seem like a picture
That's hangin' up on someone else's wall?
Lately I just haven't been myself at all
It's heavy on my mind
And I'm dreamin' again
Like I've always been
Way down low
I still know
That the prettiest thing I ever did see
Was dusty as the handle on the door
Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor
It looks like home to me
Now I'm dreamin' again
Like I've always been
Way down low
Thinkin' of the prettiest thing
Dreamin'
Dreamin'
