Ragged Beauty Lyrics

She had that ragged beauty

A natural way that moved me

Her eyes like silver seas

That brought me to my knees

But I couldn't make her love me

But now I finally see

That Ragged beauty

Never belonged to me

I was low and down trodden

My conscience vile and depraved

But when I fell for her

Yeah it was me that was saved

Sometimes you can't see the truth

It's right in front of your face

That ragged beauty

She put me in my place

But there was a time

I held her heart for a day

But all things must pass

That bird must fly away

Still I can't complain

Yeah though it tore me apart

You see that ragged beauty

She put the song in my heart

So many years have passed

Since she went away

Now if I met her again

Would it be the same

You know she finally showed up

Just when she'd left my mind

Oh ragged beauty I'll love ya

Until we run out of time

So many roads to travel

So many mountains to climb

You can't run back to what broke ya

It'll only leave you blind

Ah but something so strong

So far beyond my control

Ragged beauty forever

You'll always live in my soul

Ragged beauty forever

You'll always live in my soul
