Cathedral candles burn all over Umbria
In your honor — thanks to me, Sis
Trying to turn you back to “beautiful”
Light your long way out of this
And who knows, if you are brave
And stay determined, you’ll recall
Those yellow roses in baby’s breath spray
And the gift card sermon that says it all —
“Honey, you are still you”
And though it might ring true
It’s gonna take awhile to accept the fact
Reinvent a smile, then you’ll be turning back
Turning back beautiful

Cathedral statues turn up everywhere I go
Under arches, granite angels stand
Candles burning show they are all beautiful
Though each one’s missing her right hand
Who knows, if you are brave
And stay determined, you’ll recall
Those yellow roses in baby’s breath spray
And the gift card sermon that says it all —

“Honey, you are still you”
And though that does ring true
It’s gonna take awhile to accept the fact
Reinvent a smile
Then you’ll be turning back
Turning back beautiful
There are some actions
Whose consequences
Are too final to turn back
But the fact is, those walls and fences
Still let light fall through the cracks
And who knows, if you are brave,
And stay determined, you’ll recall
Those yellow roses in baby’s breath spray
And the tiny sermon that says it all —
“Honey, you are still you”
And though it might ring true
It’s gonna take awhile to accept the fact
Reinvent a smile
Then you’ll be turning back
Turning back beautiful
