A Beautiful Mind
​
They say you are the one they call the wordsmith.
They say the songs you only wrote them down.
I heard you suffered for your fortune.
I heard it never dragged you down.

You had a beautiful mind.
You had a beautiful face.
You had a way of talking meant that no word went to waste.

They say your notebook stayed open.
They say your heart never closed.
I see the walls that you kicked over.
The man behind I'll never know.

You had a beautiful mind.
You had a beautiful face.
You had a way of talking meant that no word went to waste.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You know they write by numbers now.
There'll be a handbook soon.
I've always said I'm old before my time.
My years will bring me back to you.

You had a beautiful mind.
You had a beautiful face.
You had a way of talking meant that no word went to waste.
