I Love You in Your Tragic Beauty

From 1990 album 'The Crushed Velvet Apocalypse'

I watched you in your tragic beauty walk beneath my window Eyes aimed high, but unfocused... sure, you never noticed me You always wore the same dress, always bore the same expression "It's a loveless world so what's the point of looking? Let it be..." I considered throwing roses, thought I'd maybe wave a flag Had to try and force some small connection— but, there's a snag It's my confession that I watch you in my tragic isolation In my fear... that's the way it's been for years That's the way it will always be...
